Adults Activities

Community Connections provides adult newcomers with help to establish professional and social networks so they are engaged and feel welcomed within their communities. The creation of welcoming spaces and communities effectively engages newcomers through increased accessibility, customizing settlement services and maximizing public community spaces.

We foster engagement between immigrants and Canadians to involve newcomers directly in the community through mentorship opportunities, sports and recreational activities, community groups, participation within school councils, etc. Through activities and partnerships there is an increased public awareness and understanding of settlement and integration issues. Partnerships, promotions and planning sessions allow Community Connections to bring together diverse organizations and welcome immigrants into their local community.

Community Connections offer access to a Resource Centre that provides up-to-date information on community events, settlement issues, schools (colleges/ universities) and employment opportunities and preparation. Assistance is available through literature, media, Internet and on site staff. Access to Internet ready computers and printers is provided.
