of worship
Temples,
mosques, synagogues and churches can be an important
source of support for a newcomers and Immigrants moving
to Canada. They can provide specific information such
as where to find food to conform to religious dietary
needs and they can also provide more general ties to
language, culture and tradition.
"Places
of worship are often involved in the delivery of social
services. A place of worship might serve meals and organize
food and clothing drives for the homeless. Members of
a particular faith sometimes form associations or organizations
to undertake this kind of work in the community. Representatives
of various faiths have also been very active in defending
the rights of refugees and immigrants and in providing
assistance during the settlement process." - settlement.org
On
this page, we have extensive information on places of
worship and religious education for various faiths in
Canada, primarily focused on Indians and South Asians
