Supporting Newcomers and Building Stronger Communities

Settlement and Social Services

At Harmony Cultural Village, we believe that everyone deserves access to the resources they need to thrive. Our Settlement and Social Services programs are designed to support newcomers, refugees, and marginalized communities as they adapt to life in Canada. We offer culturally-sensitive support, practical assistance, and community-building opportunities to foster belonging and empowerment.

What Are Settlement and Social Services?

Settlement and Social Services are programs and supports designed to help individuals and families adjust to a new environment, navigate essential systems, and overcome social or economic challenges. These services are especially important for newcomers and vulnerable populations as they work to build stability and connection in a new community.
