A natural place to start a conversation.

People may bring knowledge, family ties, cultural experience, and ideas across borders. A community connection can help you decide where to listen first. A useful city partnership gives both places a reason to take part.

The connected release provides 274 community views, including 73 exact country-of-birth matches and 40 selected Indigenous identity views. Country of birth, ancestry, Mexican origin, and Indigenous identity retain their own meanings.
