It's our 10 year anniversary!! We have accomplished a lot in this time. Please read our blog post to learn about what we've been able to accomplish: newtobc.ca/news-and-events/blog/celebrating-10-years-of-newtobc

NewToBC, like our #libraries, is a point of connection for newcomers. #NewToBC offers a one-stop access point for #newcomers to start their #settlement journey in #BC. We have watched #immigrants flounder, then gain their footing with the resources we provide. We have witnessed their growth as they stretch into their new role of becoming contributing #Canadians. And we have been touched deeply by their contributions to helping others find their way to their library and community. With grateful hearts, we look forward to growing and stretching to meet the needs of our newcomers.
