There is much to learn when you and your family first arrive in Chestermere. We assist with your immediate needs for housing, schools, health care and more.Â

Teenagers bring their own unique viewpoint to our lives. While they are at school, we can introduce them to other students with similar interests and backgrounds. Culture Club is a weekly get-together in the school that helps new students connect with more established classmates.
