The Life Skills Information Sessions, scheduled for the first Saturdays of June and December, focus on equipping participants with essential skills for daily living in Canadian society. These sessions are particularly beneficial for newcomers who need to navigate various aspects of a new cultural and societal environment effectively.
Each session starts with an overview of essential life skills, such as understanding local laws, accessing public services, and managing healthcare needs. The program includes workshops on practical financial literacy, such as budgeting, banking, and understanding taxes in Canada.
Interactive components include role-playing activities where participants practice scenarios they might encounter, such as renting an apartment, visiting a doctor, or interacting with school systems. These activities are designed to build confidence and ensure participants are prepared for real-life situations.
Additionally, the sessions offer guidance on cultural norms and social etiquette to help newcomers integrate smoothly into their new environment. This includes understanding Canadian workplace culture, social interactions, and general public etiquette.
The event also features a segment on public safety and emergency preparedness, providing critical information on what to do in case of various emergencies, from health crises to natural disasters.
