Turn Your Network into Impact
Every newcomer has a story of courage—and a chance to build a better future.
At the Centre for Newcomers (CFN), we support over 50,000 newcomers in Calgary each year—helping refugees, families, and youth access employment, language training, childcare, and essential services.
Now, you can be part of that impact.
By starting your own fundraiser, you can rally your friends, family, and colleagues to support newcomers as they rebuild their lives.
