Centre for Newcomers

Since 1988 the Centre for Newcomers has been a key resource for immigrants and refugees of all nationalities. Calgary is currently preparing to receive approximately 2,000+ refugees in the next three months.  This includes government assisted refugees and privately sponsored refugees. We are working in partnership with the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) to assist those who are bringing over 250 privately sponsored refugees. The first few privately sponsored families arrived in late November and our staff are preparing for the influx of approximately 1,500 government sponsored refugees as well.
