A diverse group created by students and the Immigrant Youth Worker, to support and learn from one another. It's a place to celebrate our differences and similarities as we navigate through life in Canada.
Our group is dedicated to helping newcomers with a variety of topics such as information and orientation, policies, procedures, post-secondary education, volunteer and/or community involvement, community connections, employment, global issues, community issues, personal issues, and other various topics.
We are a group of many cultures and full of different backgrounds and personal and cultural history/stories.
We do not judge or discriminate, and we are here to listen to, support, and encourage one another in the most positive, respectful, and efficient way. It is also a group to have fun and do activities together to build strong connections and grow our resources.
We meet weekly throughout the year:
