Our missions
Six missions, one neighbourhood
Welcoming, teaching, bringing people together, supporting, caring, and keeping a place to gather: this is what our weeks go into.

The six missions
One by one
01Mission
Social integration
Newly arrived in Québec? We are here to welcome you and walk with you. We help you understand the steps, find the right services, and meet people close to home.
02Mission
Education
Training and workshops built for real life: housing, work, learning French, budgeting, digital skills, the children's school. Every session is free or by voluntary contribution.
03Mission
Cultural diversity and inclusion
We run events that bring people together: shared meals, cultural evenings, neighbourhood gatherings. People come for the food and stay for the company.
04Mission
Solidarity and the fight against poverty
When a family arrives with no network, material help is the difference between a bad week and a hard year. Food aid, emergency support, and pointing people to the right resources.
05Mission
Healthy living
Moving, eating well, talking to each other better at home. We offer a listening ear, physical activity, and workshops on nutrition and on communication.
06Mission
Rahma Mosque
CDS Balimaya keeps a place to meet and gather for people of the Muslim faith: the five daily prayers, Friday prayer, the Eid prayers, and Ramadan activities.
