The Halifax Wanderers are hosting New Canadians Night, presented by Walmart Canada, at the Wanderers Grounds when they host Cavalry FC on Monday, July 1 (4 p.m. kickoff).
The Wanderers have collaborated with Walmart Canada to send over 700 new Canadians to the match through community organizations Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS) and YMCA Halifax/Dartmouth. This is the third annual New Canadians Night Match for the Wanderers, and the second year working with Walmart Canada to make it possible for more newcomers to Nova Scotia to attend their first-ever Halifax Wanderers match.
“Making new Canadian customers and associates feel welcome in our local communities is a top priority for all of our Walmart stores,” said Tom Flaim, Regional Vice President, Walmart Canada. “Walmart Canada is proud to once again collaborate with the Halifax Wanderers to celebrate new Canadians by coming together to enjoy one of the country’s most international sports.”

“Our New Canadians Match is an embodiment of how Halifax sits at the intersection of the old and the new, and we couldn’t be more proud to celebrate our new Canadians on Canada Day with the support of Walmart Canada!” Wanderers President and Founder Derek Martin said. “Since the 1800s, The Wanderers Grounds has been a place for the community to gather and celebrate sport and today, we are proud to be a part of revitalizing that tradition while welcoming our new residents of a rapidly evolving and growing Halifax to enjoy the World’s Game together.”
