Settlement Programs for Men

Offers programs that provide men with an opportunity to connect with one another, develop new skills and establish friendships that make their transition easier, including:

• For Men Ony – provides a safe space where men settling into their new home can make friends, practice English and learn more about life in Canada. Sessions consist of an hour spent cooking, followed by an information session or presentation based on the participants needs and interests: family life and issues in Canada, parenting and relationship rights. Provides resources and support to immigrant men using cultural mediation strategies to strengthen families.
• Men’s Recreational Club – provides an opportunity for men to enjoy various sporting activities and learn about clubs and recreation centres in Saskatoon.
• Men’s Gardening – provides a stress-relieving group activity for newcomer men to regain their self-esteem and foster positivity while getting their hands dirty in the garden by planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting. Aside from the physical and mental benefits, it embraces socialization and communication skills by providing a platform to not only mingle with other newcomers but also with main stream Canadians. Also instills the significance of hard work and the benefits of nutritous food and a healthy environment.
