Regina Immigrant Women Centre (RIWC) provides support services and programs geared to the development of immigramnt, refugee women and their families.

The Regina Immigrant Women Centre is a non-profit community based organization that provides support services and programs geared to the development of immigrant women and their families. From its inception in the early 1980’s, RIWC has been a grassroots organization empowering new Canadian women and promoting equity and diversity in Regina. Formerly known as Immigrant Women of Saskatchewan (IWS), the organization became a Centre earlier this year to accommodate the large influx of immigrants to the city and to provide daily programming and activities for settlement, integration and retention.

Some of the IWS programs include: Drop-in English Conversation Classes, Stage One and Stage Two English as a Second Language Training Classes (Levels 1-6), Basic and Advanced Computer Classes, and a Skills Program.

This Centre also offers housing support, family support, a pre-employment program, and more.
