Welcome BC Settlement Service Providers - Interactive Web Map Data

The Province of B.C. offers services and programs that can help immigrants to settle into their new community and find work. New immigrants have access to free services at agencies across B.C. At a settlement agency, newcomers can learn English, learn how to find housing, enrol their children in school, and apply for government services. WelcomeBC's interactive online map allows the user to click on any settlement agency and access basic information -- such as the organization's name, address, business telephone number, service type, program name, and website URL. This information supports the Settlement Service Providers - Interactive Web Map.
