Since 1952, COSTI has helped more than 39,000 new Canadians each year through education, employment and social services. This campaign tells the stories of four individuals who have achieved personal success. Mario J. Calla, Executive Director, says "The campaign is unlike anything COSTI has done before. The portraits of each individual are stunning because they have been painted by a talented artist who immigrated to Canada in 1986 from Tanzania. His passion shows through in every stroke and the stories are so uplifting. This campaign shows how the success of every individual builds a strong and prosperous Canada."

The campaign encourages others to share their I am (a new) Canadian story through a website that will go live at a campaign kick-off event on Wednesday, April 24 at the Gladstone Hotel where the artist and featured new Canadians will join others to launch the campaign.
