CultureLink Settlement and Community Services hasn't added a story.
Donate to the Wintegration Project to help us deliver winter tours, sports and activities to newcomers and refugees in the Greater Toronto Area.
Wintegration is a project that runs out of the Newcomers Explore and Appreciate Toronto (NEAT) Program at CultureLink (a settlement and community services organization that serves newcomers in the GTA). The NEAT Program connects newcomer mentees withCanadian mentors to plan tours and activities around Toronto. These tours are offered to newcomer families free of charge so that they can experience Canadian culture and, as an added bonus, their new Canadian tour leaders receive tour guiding and project management experience. This is important because gaining Canadian work experience is a huge hurdle for many new Canadians when looking for employment here.
The Wintegration project has the same goals but also addresses a huge barrier for immigrants and refugees new to Canada , - how to adjust to the Canadian winter season. Newcomers to Canada often experience huge feelings of isolation, loss of physical activity and overall health issues in the winter because they have not yet become accustomed to our weather. They usually lack the clothing, equipment and information that would allow them to find enjoyable activities for themselves and their families during winter. The Wintegration project seeks to aid newcomers in adjusting to Canadian winter life by offering tours and activities, free of cost to newcomers of all ages so that they have a safe atmosphere to learn about and practice our beloved Canadian winter sports and pastimes.
We need your help to implement this project! We have the power to connect newcomers and refugees towonderful winter activities, but we need your support and donations so that we can continue to offer these activities for free and so that our participants have access to proper clothing and equipment to take part in the events.
This holiday season, give the gift of winter fun to newcomers and refugees in Toronto!!!
