To support families new to the country, our Settlement Worker organizes meetings and workshops about many topics including EQAO, Income Tax, Fire Safety, and how to access community resources and agencies. The Settlement Worker also helps facilitate the WIN and Newcomer programs, which help new families familiarize themselves with the educational system.
