One of the great things about re-invention is that I get to re-connect with a lot of people I’ve enjoyed working with in the past. Yes, the current re-invention is driven by necessity: I need to find new ways to put more flow into my current cash stream. But that doesn’t mean I have to be a dull boy about it. Quite the opposite.

Our communities in the lower mainland are home to the third largest population of newcomers (immigrants and refugees). Often, people new to Canada encounter fear and anxiety over beginning a new life. WE would like to change that fear into determination and hope through friendship; thus, enabling them with confidence to engage and support their community with their skills and talents. The Host Volunteer program assist newcomers in overcoming language and social barriers by providing emotional and social support through rewarding friendships.

DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society would like to invite all those who are interested to learn more about this program by attending our program orientation at the following dates and locations.

I, too, have often been guilty of the same behavior in my life. One place you often find yourself not doing that though, is in a relationship that you've already invested a lot of emotional energy into. So what about the rest of life and other relationships?
