Rural Small Centres Program

Every year, Canada welcomes more than 250,000 new arrivals from all over the world. Approximately 45,000 of these new immigrants come to Alberta each year, and while most will choose to live in our province's largest cities (Edmonton and Calgary), many more also choose to live in smaller communities.

In our Rural Small Centres program, we offer settlement services and supports for children, youth, and adults who live in smaller communities throughout Central and Eastern Rural Alberta. We have school-based programming, adult programs, and offer services to support newcomers settling into these communities– and communities adapting to newcomers’ needs.

We work closely with our team members at the Edmonton office.

Land Acknowledgment

As an organization working towards improving peoples’ well being, we acknowledge our presence on Treaty 6 territory and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route for the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, Ojibway, Anishinaabe, Nakota Sioux, and Inuit, as our responsibility to extend support for healing to our Indigenous Community members during this difficult times.

We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries and whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community.

As an organization, we commit ourselves to continue to acknowledge, learn, understand, and create opportunities to educate our staff, volunteers, and community members about the lived experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis, walking the path of reconciliation.
