Newcomer Services

Action for Healthy Communities is a not-for-profit settlement organization. We are funded by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. Our job is to help newcomers to Canada (immigrants and refugees). If you came to Canada from another country, even if you came to Canada several years ago, we can help you. We work with children, teenagers, and adults. Our services are based on your needs and can include support with: school; jobs; learning English; applying for government programs; completing required paperwork; making connections and participating in the community; learning about Canadian systems; and accessing services that are available locally (in Camrose and area). Our programs are free and confidential (we can provide interpretation and translation, as needed).

The Camrose Refugee Centre was established to encourage and facilitate the sponsorship and support of refugees and newcomers to Canada as they become members of the Camrose Community.
