The Centre for Newcomers is looking to hire dozens of people to help with increased demand.
The organization received an increase in federal funding to hire 38 more workers, increasing the staff to 300, but CEO Anila Le Yuen says even then, they will be short-staffed.
Saturday, the organization gave some newcomer families a chance to meet Santa. The centre is also looking for volunteers to shop and deliver Christmas hampers. "The Immigrant Arrival Centre allows us to respond to the needs of newcomers right at the point of their arrival and ensures they receive essential support at the beginning of their settlement process," said Yuen.
