Our mission is to come alongside new immigrants and refugees, offering them the support they need to transition smoothly to their new life in Canada. The New Canadian Friendship Centre is a ministry of Centre Street Church. It currently operates out of the Encompass Partnerships location in NE Calgary.
No immigration restrictions – all are welcome!
