The Newcomer Centre in Edmonton is dedicated to fostering a welcoming, inclusive community for newcomers. Their mission is to support individuals as they transition into their new lives in Canada through education, advocacy, and a range of services. They empower newcomers by addressing the challenges of settlement and providing programs that help individuals integrate with dignity and respect. The Centre strives to make a meaningful impact today while investing in initiatives that promote long-term social cohesion and inclusion.
Through collaboration with community members, volunteers, partners, and newcomers, they work to promote diversity, equity, and community engagement. Their efforts focus on providing settlement services, language instruction, employment support, and building relationships that help newcomers navigate the complexities of their new environment. Together, they connect people to the resources, support, and advocacy needed to create a more inclusive and compassionate community.
The Newcomer Centre remains focused on expanding programs and services that support physical and mental wellness, peer support, and education for newcomers. They advocate for better public policies, equitable access to services, and opportunities that benefit the newcomer community. By fostering partnerships and investing in continuous learning, the Centre works toward a future where newcomers can fully participate and thrive in the community.
