Parenting In Canada Program

Parenting in Canada 

Parenting is a journey, no matter where you're from.  

Parenting in Canada is for parents who are not originally from Canada and want to learn how to raise happy, healthy kids. This program creates a space for sharing experiences on parenting in different cultures, discussing challenges, and exploring ways to foster strong family bonds. Parents will learn about community resources that exist for families and tips and tools to support their family’s well-being while honouring their culture and traditions.   

Learn with other parents and support each other on your journey of raising kids in Canada.

      ·   Week 1: Cultural similarities and differences
