We want immigrant women to feel welcome in their community and their new home country.

These events celebrate womanhood, bring inspiration, share success, provide insights and promote equal rights and responsibilities, while ensuring that immigrant women feel empowered and confident in their new life in Canada.

We focus on the positive development of future goals and exploring women’s potential.

Small groups of women are encouraged to experience nature, improve their physical and mental health, and to foster communication, thinking and social skills through gardening and planting seasonal plants. Careful cultivation and plantation of a small patch of earth not only holds therapeutic significance but is also a source of immense pleasure and enjoyment.

Mothers are welcome to bring their children along and work together to harvest their produce.

We provide information that focuses on participants’ needs and interests such as settlement, employment, safety and coping with stress. Speakers often present on various topics about Canadian laws and expectations for new Canadians. Participants receive support and guidance on personal issues, such as family, parenting, and health concerns.

Childcare and interpreters are provided as needed.

Newcomer women receive information about community-based activities and the importance of physical and emotional well-being.
