Since 1988, the Centre for Newcomers (CFN) has served as a vital resource for immigrants and refugees from all backgrounds in Calgary. As a social profit organization, CFN views the integration of newcomers as a reciprocal process that shapes experiences, influences, and impacts both newcomers and the communities that welcome them. We envision a community that cherishes diversity, where individuals from all backgrounds can find opportunities to realize their dreams and engage fully as citizens. By extension, our mission is to support newcomers and the host community in building a diverse and unified society through services and initiatives that ensure newcomers succeed and foster a welcoming environment in Calgary.
