Christmas Festivities For Newcomers
Hills and Valleys Nonprofit Organization’s Christmas for Newcomers program is designed to warmly welcome newcomers to Canada, helping them experience the joy and spirit of the holiday season in their new home.
This program celebrates the diversity of our community while embracing the traditions of Christmas in Canada.
I. A Melange of Christmas Celebrations
Hills and Valleys Nonprofit Organization creates a unique and inclusive Christmas celebration that reflects the rich cultural tapestry of our community.
We offer newcomers an authentic and heartwarming experience of Christmas in Canada by considering regional variations and incorporating cultural influences. This celebration is a blend of festive traditions that honors both Canadian customs and the diverse backgrounds of our participants.
II. Gifts, Greetings, and Christmas Hampers
Hills and Valleys Nonprofit Organization presents families with thoughtful gifts, heartfelt holiday greetings, and Christmas hampers filled with necessities and treats, as part of the celebration.
We design hampers to bring comfort and joy during the holiday season, providing both practical items and festive goodies to make the season brighter for those who are new to our community.
Through the Christmas for Newcomers program, we aim to create a welcoming and joyful atmosphere, helping families feel at home and connected during this special time of year. Join us in spreading holiday cheer and making Christmas a memorable and meaningful experience for all.

Hello Power Builders!!
@hillsandvalleysnonprofit Organization enthusiastically embraced Holiday Season 2022 with meaningful connections, collaborations and celebrations.
The 8th Annual Christmas Festivities for Newcomers was a glorious celebration and included many wonderful moments, including the start of many new traditions mixed in with the long-lasting customs and practices already established within the @acbwellnessresourcecentre Christmas Giving Program.
A special thank you to our Ottawa Leaders – @rawlson @TimTierney, @monafortier (who graciously sent a representative, while out of town) and @desjardinscoop who were able to attend the event and extended welcoming and encouraging greetings to the Newcomers of Ottawa with Holiday cheer and information that will help them thrive.
Hills and Valleys Nonprofit Organization was truly immersed in the merriment and spirit of the season while having many engaging and jubilant conversations, sharing words of encouragement, and providing instructional strategic steps ‘To NEXT’! & ‘To BETTER’!

Christmas 2020
The 5th annual Christmas Giving Program for Newcomers was a success!!
Yeah!!
Good times must always continue and giving must always be a priority!
Unprecedented times require steps forward in unprecedented ways.
This year was another ‘knock-it-out-of-the-park’ Christmas celebration.
So pleased and honoured to be a part of the group of Christmas Helpers and Sponsors that made this wonderful event all come together.
We laughed, cried (ok, only one person cried…a child who accidentally dropped their cup of hot chocolate) and shared really great times together.
May you embrace the Christmas season with warmth, laughter and generosity.
