Many mainstream services have programs which include specialized supports for newcomers, and many community organizations (including ethno-cultural community organizations) play a critical role in offering social supports and other programs/services to newcomers. The long-term goal of these supports is the full economic and social integration of newcomers. Please share any corrections or additions with us via www.mansomanitoba.ca
