Newcomer Settlement Services

Newcomer Settlement Services is a program of the Portage Learning and Literacy Centre. We provide settlement services and language training for newcomers to Canada living in Portage la Prairie and the Central Plains region. We offer formal English as a Second Language classes and coordinate volunteers to offer informal language training (one-to-one or small group sessions) for anyone wanting to improve their English. We also coordinate a variety of programming throughout the year to create and build community connections, such as information workshops, community BBQ, pot-lucks, swimming, curling, skating, and a women's support group, to name a few.
