The Multicultural Council of Windsor and Essex County The MCC 's mission is to create a welcoming community for all through education, community engagement and the promotion of diversity and equality. Embracing our vision of being an innovative leader in facilitating the development of an inclusive and welcoming community, the MCC serves to support both those within underrepresented sectors and those within our community. As champions of diversity and harmony, our organization strives to identify and remove cultural and societal barriers. The MCC provides programming in the areas of Language, Orientation, and Welcoming, Settlement and Integration, Health, and Wellness, Special Events, and Community Engagement based on individual eligibility and suitability. In our community, the MCC is a driving force for campaigns and initiatives designed to build healthy, vibrant, and diverse relationships. Our agency developed, launched, and received provincial recognition for the "Harmony Ribbon"- a visible symbol of the mutual respect and understanding that we have for one another, and a sign of our desire to live in a community that is free from racism and discrimination. Our award-winning Carrousel of the Nations has been a staple of the summer festival season for decades, celebrating the diversity and cultural identities of Windsor’s ethnic communities. Carrousel offers residents and visitors the experience of many cultural groups, emphasizing the traditions of music, food, dance, and art. For over forty-five years, the MCC has recognized, celebrated, and assisted the ethno-cultural communities of Windsor and Essex County. From our restaurants to our industries to our business professionals, Windsor proudly identifies as a community of many cultures, with generations of families and decades of immigrants having been supported by the programs and services of the MCC, and adding to the rich mosaic of identities and traditions that Windsor offers.
