Finding home and community with University Settlement

“Living close to University Settlement on McCaul Street, I’ve been able to actively engage in community programs, especially during the pandemic. Zoom technology enabled my participation in various online and in-person activities seamlessly. Attending online computer classes on Fridays has broadened my understanding of technology, while tuning in to program news on Mondays keeps me updated. Wednesdays are dedicated to Canadian history workshops by Teacher Zhang, sometimes followed by outings like our trip to the Blue Mountains last year.

As someone in my seventies and relatively new to Canada, the community’s support has been invaluable. “The community has taught me many things,” I reflect gratefully. With summer approaching, I’m eager to explore more. Guided by the community’s support, I look forward to discovering more of what surrounds me. I express my sincere gratitude to University Settlement and the community for their ongoing support.”
