Refugee Workshops: Learn and Connect

Settlement Orientation Services (SOS) runs weekly orientation sessions for refugee claimants covering information on health and settlement services.

Our Settlement Orientation Services (SOS) Program runs orientation sessions two times each work (bi-weekly) for refugee claimants covering information on health and settlement services.

We cover a variety of topics to assist you in navigating the health system and settlement process during your claim. The bi-weekly sessions provide support and a place to gain more knowledge from expert speakers in the community.

Orientations are currently taking place online, please consult the ISSofBC Workshop Catalogue for details of upcoming SOS orientations.
