The agency is committed to work in full collaboration with newcomers and their communities to provide programs to meet their needs. There is also a commitment to work with other community agencies in partnerships when possible.

Our Commitment to Serving People

Some current priorities include family literacy, refugee housing, and specialized counselling for survivors of torture and trauma. ESL services are geared to those needing part time classes at different times of day and employment services range from brief advice to full year programs such as the Engineers' and Technologists' Integration Program.

The community-capacity building projects we work on are often developed or greatly supported by volunteers the many of whom are members in the ethno-cultural communities. They include associations members, board members, cultural brokers and settlement workers volunteering many hours on an ongoing basis.

EMCN works from a variety of locations in Edmonton, with its main site at 11713 - 82 Street.

EMCNs activity began in 1982 and it currently has about 70 staff as well as several hundred volunteers each year. Major funders are the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta, as well as United Way of the Alberta Capital Region, Family and Community Support Services, United Nations, The Muttart Foundation, Region 6 Child and Family Authority and Edmonton Community Foundation.

EMCN is a registered society in Alberta and a registered charity with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. (1188 939 57 RR 0001)
