London newcomers day is a day for people to gather and share their experiences with living in Canada, as well as discussing and showing newcomers what starting a new life in Canada is all about
October 21 is the London Newcomers day, where experts discuss what living, working and studying in London is all about. Due to the fact that the Canadian government has always provided shelter and help for newcomers and immigrants who are looking for a new life in Canada, help centres such as Cross Cultural learner centre work as a team in order to provide newcomers with all the services they may need.
Cross Cultural learner centre is a help centre for all newcomers and immigrants that are seeking help in order to be able to understand and adapt to the new community they will be living in. The centre was founded in 1960, and has been helping new comers since then.
