PRE-DEPARTURE SUPPORT:
"Are you coming to Edmonton?"
The Welcoming and Integration of Newcomers (WIN) program is designed to help individuals and families begin their new chapter in Edmonton with confidence, clarity, and support. One of our key services is the pre‑departure assistance, a simple and free process where newcomers fill out a short form before traveling. This allows our team to understand your needs, prepare tailored guidance, and ensure you arrive well‑informed and ready for a smooth transition into your new environment. Whether it’s housing, schooling, transportation, community resources, or cultural orientation, we help you settle faster and adapt more easily. To guarantee the best support, we encourage all newcomers to submit their pre‑departure request at least three weeks before arriving in Edmonton. With WIN, you are never alone — your integration begins before you even land.

SERENITY PROGRAM:
"Retour Au Pays Natal (RPN)"
The Serenity Program – Retour au Pays Natal (RPN) is a community‑driven initiative dedicated to supporting families and individuals during one of life’s most difficult moments. Rooted in cultural values and traditions, the program helps cover and coordinate funeral‑related costs to ensure that loved ones can be honored with dignity, whether through repatriation to their country of origin or through culturally appropriate arrangements here in Canada. Guided by compassion and solidarity, RPN stands beside families so they never face these challenges alone, offering practical assistance, emotional support, and a respectful approach that upholds the customs that matter most.
