SCF serves diverse newcomer and refugee communities with the support of dedicated staff and passionate volunteers. We predominantly work to support refugee women, children, youth, and seniors.











The N.E.W Venture program sessions officially began yesterday! 🥳Our participants were so excited to have their first virtual training with our fantastic instructors Khizr and Maryam, filled with lively interactions and learning. We exchanged our life stories, discussed our passions, dissatisfactions, dreams, successes, failures, and the profound sense of belonging we all sought in our lives and careers. ✨Exciting times ahead! 🤩 – Thanks to IRCC for supporting this program and to CSI for the wonderful partnership. 👏🏼#newventure #businessideas #businesswomen #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #businessventure #scf
We had a wonderful evening celebrating our N.E.W. Venture Program launch yesterday at the Centre for Social Innovation🤩It was lovely to meet our amazing cohort of newcomer women entrepreneurs and hear about their lives and business ideas. ✨Thank you to IRCC for supporting our program, and to partners CSI for the venue and all the support with the logistics. With the help of their wonderful staff, we were able to connect virtually with our facilitators and some of our participants who couldn’t make it in person, and still have them with us in our celebration. 🫶🏽Special thank you to Paramount for the delicious food Lolo Sweets and for the amazing cake. We’re excited to kick off the sessions next week! 👏🏼#newventure #scf #businessowner #businesswoman #womenentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness
