Your guide to Central Oregon's progressive community and events

On June 21, 2017, the Bend City Council unanimously supported a resolution for the City of Bend to be recognized as a Welcoming City.


Welcoming Cities are guided by the principles of inclusion and creating communities that prosper because everyone feels welcome, including immigrants and refugees. Read our Welcoming City Resolution.


WELCOMING WEEK

As part of the Welcoming America network, we join other welcoming communities around the country in celebrating Welcoming Week, Sept. 15-24, 2017.  Welcoming Week is a series of events in our community that raise awareness about our status as a Welcoming City and the benefits of welcoming everyone in Bend.
