To support Canada's efforts to reduce the chance of spreading the COVID-19 infection we have made the necessary decision to close the office entirely. All staff are expected to work from home.
Effective March 20, 2020, ISGW will be CLOSED to the general public and staff will be working at home to serve you the best we can.
Everyone should continue to think ahead about the actions that they can take to stay healthy and prevent the spread of any illness, espectially respiratory infections.
Stay home if you are sick. Encourage those who you know are sick to stay home until they no longer have symptoms.
Social distancing — staying at least six feet away from other and cleaning your hands after touching shared surfaces like door handles or handrails.

On Thursday, May 30th we held our second annual gala fundraising event - An Artistic Evening and Art Battle.
We were pleased to showcase the artwork of the following local artists: Reyad Alabdullah, Yulia Balobanova, Maria Ibarra, Shahla Kashani, Adriana Rosselli Londono, Nahid Rokhsana, Kate Salih and Candace Slack.
It is observed as a unique chance for volunteers and organizations to celebrate their efforts, to share their values, and to promote their work among their communities, non-profit organizations, government authorities and the private sector.
