JIAS Integration Funding at Work in Calgary

On May 2, 46 new immigrants to Calgary climbed onto a Tim Horton’s Bus to discover the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.  Most had never been to this area before and were excited to learn more about the geography and history of the Province they now call home.  Switching back and forth between English, Russian and Hebrew, they quickly formed bonds and friendships that will last for many years.  The trip was a great success thanks to Tim Horton’s who provided the bus, Parks Canada and JIAS Canada who helped subsidize the entrance fees, and of course the wonderful Jewish Family Service Staff who hosted the trip.
