“Pathways has taught me that being myself is the best thing I can do. It had allowed for me to make many memories with the educators, and make many new friends. I’m forever grateful for Pathways for helping me grow as a person.”

Jorja, Pathways Thunder Bay 

 

“Thanks to the Pathways Program, I was able to start building a social life and make new friends who have been part of my daily life in Canada since I first arrived, which has really helped me emotionally from day one. Because of them, I’ve also explored the city of Montreal through various activities and achieved my goal of becoming trilingual and being able to communicate by myself in French.”  

Mariana, Pathways Verdun
