“The most important outcome shared is that program participants were able to establish a social connection, since the number one obstacle they face is isolation upon arriving to Canada. Apart from this we offered much needed winter clothing to support all the individuals, and two men were able to get business suits for their job interviews through our in Suits Program for men.”
