New Program Coming to the Northwest for Immigrant and Refugee Women

The Calgary Immigrant Women’s Association (CIWA) is opening an informal conversation group for women, the New Friends and Neighbourhood Group (NFNG). All immigrant and refugee women are welcome to come, enjoy free certified childcare while practicing English together, learning about services in Calgary and making friends with other women in the neighbourhood.

We will welcome guest speakers, try new activities, and learn about interesting topics such as parenting, first aid, finding a job, Canadian culture, shopping in Canada, recreation, money management, camping and many, many more!

Registration is free and all immigrant and refugee women are welcome to attend. It is a drop-in program with no cost or fee, no minimum language requirement and no immigration requirements.
