Our Mission

At Prima Nota Inc., our mission is to uplift and connect Russian-speaking migrants through cultural expression, creative participation, and community-building — while welcoming collaboration across diverse communities.

We use music, storytelling, and tradition as tools for belonging, integration, and joy.

Our Values

1. Cultural Empowerment
   We honour and celebrate the cultures, languages, and stories that migrants carry — and help them grow roots in new soil.
2. Inclusivity with Intent
   We serve Russian-speaking migrants first — but we open our doors wide to others. Our programs are designed to include newcomers, neighbours, and those seeking meaning through culture.
3. Creativity as Community Care
   We believe that creativity is essential to wellbeing. It connects people, heals wounds, and creates bridges where language can’t.
4. Integrity & Respect
   We work with honesty, mutual respect, and transparency — valuing lived experience as much as professional skill.
5. Shared Leadership
   We build spaces where migrants are not just participants but leaders — shaping programs, representing their communities, and inspiring others.
