Maybe it\u2019s a simple smile or kind word when you pass someone on the street. Or, maybe it\u2019s something more significant, like taking time to listen and offer support. What&#8217;s even better is if you can also strive to be more welcoming to immigrants who arrive after you and encourage them in their initial stages of settling in Canada. You can help newcomers in Canada by sharing what you&#8217;ve learned about living in Canada so far.
