Huron County, Ontario – The Huron County Immigration Partnership is excited to launch the second annual, I Am Huron campaign. This initiative celebrates the positive impact immigrants make in Huron County and highlights their contributions to the community. Nominations are now open for immigrants who have made a difference through their work, creativity, and involvement in the community.
“The I Am Huron campaign celebrates the ways that immigrants and newcomers to Canada enrich our culture in a meaningful way. We want to highlight how immigrants make a positive impact in Huron County’s communities,” explains Pam Somers, co-chair of Huron County’s Immigration Partnership.
Nominations are open until May 15, 2026. A subcommittee will review nominations based on contributions to the community, business and economic impact, and cultural or artistic contributions. An expected five to ten individuals will be featured as part of the subsequent I Am Huron campaign.
The selected nominees will be highlighted in local print publications, social media, and at a special celebration event.
“Last year, the I Am Huron campaign celebrated seven incredible people who moved to Canada and are contributing by owning businesses, employing others and volunteering in the community. We’re hoping in 2026, the community will nominate other outstanding people making an impact locally,” Somers said.
