Introducing Virtual Community for newcomers to Canada
We’re excited to introduce the new Virtual Community for Newcomers to Canada—a welcoming space for graphic designers who are new to the country and navigating the local design landscape.
The goal of this community is to foster peer support, create professional connections and empower Members with resources and knowledge to thrive in the Canadian creative industry. Through monthly themed discussions, guest speakers and resource-sharing, you will explore the realities of establishing a design career in a new country, while celebrating the unique perspectives newcomers bring to the field.
To sign up for either of this new Virtual Community or any of the others, including those for Firm Owners, UX Managers & Senior Designers, Municipal Designers, Illustrators, In-house Design Managers, Solo Designers, Experiential Graphic Designers, BIPOC Designers Virtual Community, Post-Secondary Designers Virtual Community and 2SLGBTQIA+ Designers, complete this online application form.
If none of these Virtual Communities speaks to your background or interests, there's also the opportunity to lead a new one!
Members of each Virtual Community are invited to join a special Slack Channel as part of the RGD’s Slack Community and are invited to virtual meetings scheduled by the Community Leaders.
Virtual Communities are open to Certified RGD, Associate RGD and Affiliate Members.
