The goal is to build friendships and a supportive learning environment over the course of six (6) weeks during lunch hours at selected elementary schools. The School Buddy Program matches new immigrant and refugee children with host Canadian children to facilitate their integration into Saskatoon. Facilitators lead the group through activities designed to foster cultural understanding between the students while also having fun and
developing new or existing friendships within the group. The program takes place throughout the year, following the school academic calendar.
