This topic explored the key steps that newcomers go through from initial settlement (landing in Canada) to gradual integration into their newly chosen community. The speaker combined research with live examples to share his learning on how to become fully integrated into your community by newcomers? Weather it is through the involvement of your children's school activities, participating in your work/office events, indulging in your hobbies, sports or volunteering for your community, many tips and ideas will be explored to help newcomers learn new skills to become actively involved in your community. It is beneficial to immigrants who want to live in a meaningful and active life, refuse to be isolated from their community and are motivated to do something to improve their quality of life, so that they will enjoy a greater sense of belonging, ownership and pride in their lives.
