Canadian Sports: Door Society and Sports Camphosted

canadian sports: When we first entered into Canada, my parents went to the Open Door Society and they helped out generously, it was so amazing, said Ripa, according to CTV. My parents encouraged me to come here and meet other people and so through this program, I've gained a lot of friends. Programs such as the four-day sports camphosted by the Regina Open Door Society and Ehrlo Sport Venture this week have helped her transition into life in Canada. The camp has been hosted by the Open Door Society since 2016 and sees newcomers learn the basics of popular Canadian sports over the course of the week. Not only will they learn about Canadian culture, but they will also learn about values such as sportsmanship, cooperation and discipline, said Roberto Misterio, Youth Program Coordinator of the Regina Open Door Society. The goal is to use sport to help newcomers become a part of the community. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
