Support for Francophone Newcomers in Manitoba
We offer comprehensive, compassionate support to help new arrivals and their families build their new lives.
Who are our services
intended for?
Our services are designed for Francophone newcomers and their families (permanent residents and refugees). Whether you need personalized guidance, language support, or help connecting with your new community, we’re here for you.
A place to come together and grow together
We know that settling into a new country or navigating personal challenges takes a great deal of courage. At Pluri-elles, our spaces are designed to be much more than just meeting places.
A safe space for speaking out
Here, you can openly discuss the mental strain associated with immigration or language anxiety without fear of being judged.
Understanding Manitoba's youth
We offer unique support for families whose children are navigating two cultures, helping to stabilize family dynamics.
Turning stress into resilience
Our discussions on post-migration stress and cultural diversity provide you with practical tools to take back control of your journey.
Building a sense of sisterhood
We offer engaging workshops and educational games designed to promote holistic cognitive and social development.
When I first arrived, Manitoba seemed vast and unfamiliar to me. Pluri-elles helped me understand the local customs, make my first connections, and finally feel at home. Today, I’m no longer just an observer; I’m a proud Franco-Manitoban, ready to contribute to my community.
