Community partnerships play such an important role in creating meaningful opportunities and positive experiences for the populations we serve.

A huge thank you to the Exploits Valley YMCA for providing our newcomer families with a free swim session, and to Mental Health & Addictions Services for generously providing free movie tickets. Our newcomer families thoroughly enjoyed both experiences!

Opportunities like these help newcomers build connections, feel welcomed and included, and develop a stronger sense of belonging within our community. By working together, we can foster social inclusion, support positive integration, and encourage long-term community connection and retention.

Together, we are building a more welcoming and connected community!

ANC Grand Falls-Windsor was pleased to participate in Woodland Primary’s Community Connections/Meet and Greet Night once again this year!

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with new families, reconnect with familiar faces, and strengthen our community relationships. The children seemed to thoroughly enjoy showing their families around the school, participating in activities, and capturing special moments with the beautiful backdrop created for the occasion.

Thank you to Woodland Primary for hosting another wonderful evening and for continuing to provide opportunities for families and community partners to come together!
