Even in the depths of winter, CultureLink's innovative cycling programs connect bicycles and newcomers. In the last week of January, Toronto City Hall hosted a unique display of photography created by newcomers to Canada who participated in Bike Host, our program which loans bicycles to immigrants and refugees and matches them with volunteer mentors who ride regularly. Through their photography, they explored how a bicycle could help them adjust to life in Canada.

At CultureLink, NOW means Newcomer Orientation Week. It's a program for newcomer students entering secondary school, to help ensure they have the information they need to succeed. CultureLink has traditionally offered NOW programs in late August, but last year we began to run a program in winter as well, for students who may have missed out or who may have arrived in Canada during the fall.
