“My first day of employment at BIRC was on January 6th, 2025,” she reported. BIRC is a non-profit organization funded by the provincial and federal government that helps immigrants settle in Canada. Their services are provided free of charge.
Although Angel is beginning a new role, she is a familiar face, having spent eight years living in Kindersley with her family. Her strong connections within our community will help equip her to provide valuable support.
Angel will assess the needs of newcomers and immigrants and help them settle in Canada. “I will attend school orientations with new students and families to ensure their successful integration into the school system,” she explained.
Her new role will also include helping with translation during parent-teacher interviews and providing activities to maintain communication between students, families, schools, and the community. She will be able to refer newcomers to community support agencies and community recreational activities as needed.
“I am looking forward to meeting new faces and being part of their new beginnings in Canada,” she said. “I’m available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.”
If you require assistance or services, you can contact Angel at 306-604-0024 or via email at bircoor@gmail.com
Kindersley extends a warm welcome to Angel as she begins her new role in serving this area.
