At the Fort Erie Multicultural Centre, we offer programmes and services which focus both on the personal and legal aspects of a refugee claimant’s experience when arriving in Canada. Our staff is friendly, compassionate, able to offer the best support throughout the settlement process. Our organization’s focus is to provide education, settlement services, counselling and other support services for newcomers to Canada. This including language instruction, translation services, youth services and assistance with navigating the information network.
