Shreety’s story: Bringing family to sing together

Shreety shares about becoming connected as a newcomer is really important because it helps people make new friends and feel connected to their surroundings and community. She especially appreciated this program because it encourages creativity without judgment. Participants are free to express whatever they are feeling emotionally through drawing, movement, dancing, music, or other creative activities. According to Shreety, the best part is that no one judges you people can simply express themselves however they want.

She also explained that these kinds of activities are important for mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. After working all day, joining a program like this can help people relax, reduce anxiety, and feel better from the inside. Having been in Canada for less than a year, Shreety tries to join programs whenever she has the opportunity. She now recommends them to all her friends because she believes people gain much more than just skills or knowledge they also build confidence, connections, and a sense of belonging in their new environment.
