buses: As part of a booster travel program organized on by the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society, buses are available to bring them to the national parks to take in some of the best nature in the country.CCIS CEO Fariborz Birjandian said getting out and embracing the culture, both summer and winter, is something his organization has been preaching for some time, according to Metro News. They get the whole experience, taking the gondola, going up the mountain and having lunch and dinner together, he said. With winter firmly gripping Alberta's largest city, newcomers are heading to the mountains to enjoy themselves. So far, four trips have been made for a total of around 200 people. Birjandian said simply getting out as a community being able to discuss feelings and thoughts is a vital step in getting settled in a new country, especially when it comes to watching the horrific scenes play out in their former home. However, it's not all about shredding powder and sipping hot chocolate.
