Welcoming Newcomers Survey

A settlement organization in Saskatoon wants to start a new program to help newcomers feel at home in the city. It has funding for only one program and is asking residents, including recent immigrants, which program would be more helpful.

Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150–200 words.

Option A: I prefer a program that matches each newcomer family with a local volunteer mentor.

Option B: I prefer weekly drop-in evenings where newcomers can practise English and meet local people.
