Newcomers bring a wealth of experience, skills, and cultural diversity to our communities and workforce. We are proud to announce the expansion and enhancement of our programs designed specifically for vulnerable newcomers, temporary residents, and migrant workers.
These initiatives, including the BC NSP (BC Newcomer Services Program), SAF HAVN (BC Services and Assistance for Humanitarian and Vulnerable Newcomers), and CCBP (Community Capacity Building Project), are designed to ensure that newcomers and their families feel welcomed and valued within our community.
With the appointment of dedicated program managers, our support initiatives for temporary residents have been strengthened to better meet the employment needs of newcomers. This growth allows us to enhance our service offerings and reach more individuals, ensuring that every newcomer receives the support they need to thrive.
