The Canal Welcome Center commemorated its rebranding as the Multicultural Center of Marin on Oct. 27. The new name and identity better reflect the organization’s work throughout Marin County, its leaders say. The organization works with diverse immigrant and underserved communities in advancing their social, cultural and economic well being through self-empowerment programs that encourage participation in the broader civic life of U.S. society.
