Saamis Immigration Services Association
Saamis Immigration Services Association (SISA) has been operating in Medicine Hat for over 20 years. Since its inception on April 1, 1988, SISA has been successfully assisting immigrants and refugees settling in and around Medicine Hat. SISA and its programs are funded by the Government of Canada through the department of Citizenship and Immigration.
SISA runs four main departments:
• Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) - ESL classes
• Resettlement Assistance (RAP) orientations and integrative supports
• Settlement Workers in the Schools (SWIS)
• Community Connections (CC) - volunteer mentorship programs, inclusion events and programming
This is one picture of the many happy new Canadians who attended the Citizenship Reaffirmation Celebration at Medicine Hat College on Tuesday evening.
People who took their citizenship oath virtually during the pandemic and since, were able to finally come together and celebrate their achievement.
Thanks to Glen Motz and his staff, and the Honourable Jim Horsman, for making an evening to remember.

International Mother Earth Day was established in 2009 by the United Nations General Assembly to recognize that, "the Earth and its ecosystems are our home" and that "it is necessary to promote harmony with nature and the Earth."

The first day of the Conversation Social Group was a great success! The students were enthusiastic about starting conversations and practicing their English skills.
On the first day, both clients and volunteers introduced themselves to each other. This helped them to know each other better and break the ice.
Additionally, the volunteers created a plan for the upcoming classes and discussed a few topics that they will cover in the next sessions.
Thank you so much volunteers for supporting the clients.
