Settlement Supports

Settlement Assistance

Have you recently moved to Colchester County?

Do you have questions about services provided in this area?

CoRDA offers settlement assistance to newcomers in the Truro-Colchester region. If you have questions about housing, employment, education, recreation, and more, we can help!

Your newcomer navigator can orient you around your new community, helping you access necessary services, language and skills training, employment assistance as well as providing opportunities to build up social and professional networks.

Contact Megan if you have any questions and we can get you started on your settlement plan.
