After meeting students in schools for information and discussion sessions about Black history Month, the coordinator of the Settlement Workers in Schools program offers creative workshops and children’s games creation hosted by BACupNorth.

The objective is to give young people who wish to do so a space to express their thoughts and feelings on the subject in an artistic way.

Workshops are free to attend to and will be held on Thursday, 23rd February :

• from 1pm to 3pm for kids and teenagers from 8 to 12 ;
• and from 3pm to 5pm for teens and young adults above 13 years old.

The workshops will take place in room 205 of the Northern United Place building in Yellowknife.

We are currently working towards improving services for immigrants in regard to language tests and training for Permanent Resident and Citizenship applications.

To do so, we have created a survey to capture data regarding the needs of language tests in French (TEF) and English (CELPIP). We have also seen that there has been a need for language training to achieve required CLB levels for immigration purposes.

We have a very successful program, LINC, which aids permanent residents who are seeking help in improving their English. This survey would help us to better understand if there is a need for CLIC, which is the French version of LINC.

Please fill out the survey below before March 15th 2021. The survey will not take more than five minutes to complete.
