The Host & Buddy Program

provides a way to help newcomers adapt to the community and learn more about Canadian culture and traditions by matching local volunteers with individuals and families. The time and friendship of a caring volunteer can ease the frustration and loneliness that newcomers often experience in adjusting to their new life in Canada.  Interested individuals of all ages can volunteer in the program, including families, service clubs, church and community groups.
