Settlement services listed in this directory may include translation and/or interpretation, orientation, housing and/or legal information or health services and/or information. Many organizations listed in the directory can provide newcomers with referrals to economic, social, health, cultural, educational and recreational services; tips on banking, shopping, managing a household and other everyday tasks; interpreters or translators; non-therapeutic counseling, and many more. All the organizations provide services in English; we include a list of other languages when available. The directory also includes specialized services for seniors, youth and women.
