North Bay & District Multicultural Centre Information

The North Bay & District Multicultural Centre evolved from the work of the North Bay Newcomer Network, spearheaded by the Mayor's Office of Economic Development. It became a reality January 1, 2008 and is a reflection of the changing face of the city. Our mandate is to provide immigrant support services to residents from Parry Sound in the south to Hearst in the north; including a satellite office in Timmins for additional northern support. We offer a volunteer mentoring program where city and district residents are matched with newcomers to help them adjust to life in Canada. Our office provides information and referral services for all aspects of immigrant support and provides a computer, photocopier, telephone and fax service for immigrants wanting to do their own research. We provide interpretation by volunteers and translation on a fee for service basis.
