Meg Sauvé

Lorie immigrated to Canada 6 years ago from the Philippines. With her eldest already navigating adolescence, she was suddenly back in the early years, learning how to support a child whose needs were different from what she had experienced before. When her youngest was diagnosed with autism, it brought both clarity and uncertainty, with one lingering question: how can I best support them?

When Sephora immigrated to Canada in 2022, it was not by choice but by necessity. She arrived in British Columbia with her husband and their young daughter, Yolanda, after her employer of 7 years offered her a position at their Vancouver head office. It was an opportunity, but one that came with many challenges.

Last month, our team travelled from Yellowknife to Saskatoon, Regina to Vancouver, and throughout Toronto and the GTA to meet with Coordinators, Home Visitors and Parents enrolled in the At Home in Canada programs as part of our Story Project. In Regina, we met Navpreet. Read her Story of Confidence!
