Newcomers and immigrants come to Canada having left behind everything they ever knew. Whether by choice or for survival, they come to our great nation seeking better pastures.

We at the Somali Centre deeply appreciate this sacrifice, with a team that personally embodies the immigrant experience and continually strives to ease this transition. For over 25 years the Somali Centre for Family Services has been at the forefront as an advocate, friend, and ally to newcomers seeking resettlement.
