Welcome back to my 10-Year Journey in Canada series! In this episode (6), I’m diving into a topic that many newcomer parents struggle with — how to navigate extracurricular activities for your kids in a new country.

From sports and arts to STEM clubs and drama, I quickly learned that extracurriculars are not just “extras” — they’re essential for helping children build confidence, make friends, and feel like they belong. 📌 Whether your kids are 5, 9, or 12 (like mine), I’m sharing: Why extracurriculars matter in Canada What programs work best by age group How to start small and let kids explore Budget-friendly options and subsidy programs Tips for overcoming cultural and financial barriers 🎯 This video is perfect for newcomer families, immigrant parents, and anyone raising children in a new country. 👇 Comment below: What activities do your kids enjoy?
