Our Impact

As we celebrate another successful year, we reflect on COSTI’s rich 70 plus year history of unwavering support for newcomers on their settlement journeys. Our commitment to the community has only grown stronger, expanding to embrace not only newcomers to Canada but all those in need.

 

At COSTI, we have always striven to keep our focus on what truly matters: our clients and our community. We are dedicated to being responsive and adaptive to their evolving needs. In this spirit, we have adopted an integrated, holistic approach that encompasses settlement, housing, employment, language and skills development, as well as social services.

This one-stop shop approach enables our clients to view COSTI as their primary destination community, where they can access a comprehensive array of services. By embracing this approach, we aim to instill our clients with the confidence and convenience they deserve throughout their newcomer journeys. Most importantly, it fosters a sense of comfort and community during what can often be a challenging and solitary experience.

In the spirit of innovation, commitment, and community, we look forward to another year of providing vital support and making a difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for joining us on this remarkable journey.
