Register Now for Crossing Cultures Together!
At our eighth Crossing Cultures Together, we will focus on understanding the experiences of new immigrants.
We see new immigrants on our streets every day, yet we live without knowing who they are or what they experience in their new homeland. At this year’s Crossing Cultures Together, we invite you to join us, with open eyes and minds, to learn about the experiences of new immigrants to Canada.
Through this event, we hope to encourage our churches to open their doors and people to open their minds to new immigrant experiences so that together we build diverse and inclusive church communities.
The event on May 26th will include stories of new immigrants, examples of shared ministry and exciting research on the lives and hopes of our new neighbours.
Please join us with a listening heart!

KEYNOTE
Understanding New Canadians in Canada
Presented by Dr. Samuel Noh
Dr. Samuel Noh currently holds an Endowed Professorship in the Department of Psychiatry, the University of Toronto — David Crombie Professor of Cultural Pluralism and Health. Dr. Noh is also a Senior Research Scientist and the founder and Head of the Social Equity and Health Research within the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Canada’s leading psychiatric facility and research hub.
His research focuses on the identification of social and cultural processes affecting the mental health of new immigrants and racial and cultural minorities, including cultural sensitivities in assessing social stress and mental health, psychosocial processes of racial and ethnic discrimination and mental health, stigma and service utilization among Asian Canadians, and cross-cultural investigations of depression and somatic tendency.
Dr. Noh is also known widely throughout the Asian immigrant communities of Canada and the United States. He has delivered over 250 invited community lectures, seminal presentations, workshops, and media appearances addressing issues related to migration, settlement stress, immigrant families, and emotional and academic adjustments of Korean immigrant children and youth.
Dr. Noh is the lead editor of the upcoming book, Korean Immigrants in Canada (Eds. S Noh, A Kim, and M Noh), the very first collection of original research studies on Korean Canadians written by an international representation of social scientists.
