Founded in 1979, the New Canadians Centre Peterborough (NCC) is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting immigrants and refugees across the Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, and Northumberland regions. NCC helps newcomers become full and equal members of Canadian society while fostering cultural integration in a welcoming community. With nearly 50 employees and over 250 volunteers representing dozens of countries and cultures, NCC serves more than 2,000 newcomers annually along their settlement journey in Canada.
