Folk Arts Council of St. Catharines operating as Bridges Niagara, has served immigrants, newcomers, and ethno-cultural communities across Niagara for decades. Our mission is to celebrate and promote the cultural, social and economic inclusion and well-being of all immigrants and newcomers.

 Operating from the heart of the Niagara region, we provide holistic settlement services grounded in a case-management framework that recognizes the intersections between settlement needs and broader social determinants of health, including housing, income security, language, employment, and social connection.
