Two New Welcome Centre Immigrant Service Locations Now in Durham
What an exciting time for Durham Region! Not one, but two Welcome Centre Immigrant Services are open and ready to serve members of the Durham community. With easy to reach locations, newcomers and returning clients can easily make their way to Pickering and Ajax Welcome Centres as they are located very close to the Pickering and Ajax GO Station.
Everyone is encouraged to visit the Welcome Centres – where information is at your fingertips! Connect with members of the service community, build personal relationships, and gain specific and individual information about how to settle in Durham.
The Welcome Centres provide core services such as settlement and orientation, language instruction, and employment training at each site. Complementary services will be provided by other agencies on a hotelling, incubating, or occasional basis.
Both Welcome Centres have seen a rush of clients since their official opening on September 6, 2011. Registration for LINC and ESL classes combined with Assessments for Job Search Workshops and Settlement Assistance have kept our multilingual and friendly staff busy.
We are excited to welcome newcomers to Durham Region as you embrace Durham as your new home.
