CultureLink News

September 2023

35 years ago, a settlement support system for newcomers was born in response to a study by the Government of Canada. In 1992, The Metro Toronto HOST Program became CultureLink Settlement Services of Metropolitan Toronto. Since 2015 we have been known as CultureLink Settlement and Community Services.

Through the name changes, the office relocations, the many changes and challenges, new programs, partnerships and expansion of our services throughout the city of Toronto, we remain true to our vision. This year, we celebrate 35 years of building thriving communities, and we hope you will join us.

AGM 2023

Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 24th this year. It will be our first in-person AGM since 2019 and a celebration of CultureLink's 35th Anniversary! Come meet our staff, board of directors and some special guests! To join us, please RSVP on Eventbrite

Lights, Camera, Action!

For 35 years we have been inspired by the strength and resilience of the people we serve. And hopefully, we have provided them with some inspiration as well. How did CultureLink inspire you?

Mornings with Marie

For older adults and seniors (65+). We meet in small groups at the Library to discuss common challenges and learn how to overcome them. Participants will learn a few simple lessons and practices that can improve their quality of life - and in the process, make friends!

In the first session we will cover Budgeting

Kickstarting Work with Kayla

For young adults (18-29) who need help getting ready for the job market. We will meet at the library two times per week for two weeks to go over how to polish a resume, the difference between professional and online personas and how to succeed in an interview.
