This is to inform you that on July 24, 2025, the Progressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS) Society will celebrate a remarkable milestone — the 20th Anniversary of its flagship event, the PICS Mega Job Fair. Set to take place at the North Surrey Sport and Ice Complex, this landmark event promises to be bigger and better than ever, uniting thousands of job seekers with hundreds of employers, educators, and service providers from across the region.

The PICS Mega Job Fair is more than just a recruitment event; it’s a celebration of community resilience, opportunity, and inclusion. As a not-for-profit organization serving the community for over three decades now, PICS has been a cornerstone of support for immigrants, youth, seniors, and all those seeking a better future in Canada.

A Gateway to New Beginnings

The fair offers something for everyone — from newcomers navigating a new job market, to seasoned professionals seeking fresh opportunities. Attendees will have the chance to meet face-to-face with top employers, learn about in-demand career paths, and connect with educational institutions offering valuable training and certification programs.

Job seekers are encouraged to bring their resumes and come dressed for success. With companies actively hiring on-site, some attendees may even walk away with a job offer the same day.

Calling All Employers and Exhibitors

For local businesses and national employers alike, the PICS Mega Job Fair offers a unique chance to engage with a diverse talent pool and demonstrate corporate social responsibility. In past years, exhibitors have included names from industries such as healthcare, tech, construction, retail, finance, government, and more.

Why It Matters

With ongoing economic challenges and changing workforce dynamics, events like this serve as critical bridges between opportunity and access. They support economic growth, reduce barriers to employment, and foster a more inclusive, empowered workforce.
