As we close the chapter on 2024, we want to take a moment to reflect on an incredible year of learning, growth, and connection here at NewToBC. This year has been all about empowering newcomers, fostering community, and building connections to make BC feel like home.

🤝 Countless stories of success inspired us all.

To every newcomer, librarian, partner organization, and volunteer who made this year unforgettable: Thank you. Your energy, passion, and commitment are the heart of everything we do.
