Parenting resources

Bringing your family to Canada is a wonderful opportunity, but settling into a new community as a family can present some challenges. In your home country you may have had the support of family members, aunts, uncles and cousins to help you with a newborn or when a child is sick or simply to give you a free night out as a couple. In Saint John, it is important to use the community resources available and build a strong network of support.

Community resources

The Saint John Multicultural and Newcomers Resource Centre has a number of community programs that are open to spouses and children of international students.

Pregnancy resources

The Victoria Order of Nurses in Saint John has two excellent programs for new and expecting parents. Contact them at 506-635-1530 to learn more.
