When you first arrive at a place, you must find out about the habits of the inhabitants of that place so that you know where to put your feet and where not to put them. What are you allowed to do and what is prohibited? What possibilities does this place offer you for your development? If you don't have this information, then your integration and development will suffer.
The Calgary: A New Chapter program at CCIS sheds light on this new path that I have just started taking. It has allowed me to have the essential information and, most importantly, to know where to find the information I need today and will need in the future. For this, I say thank you to CCIS.

Throughout my CCIS sessions, I've encountered a diverse array of experiences. Each conversation presented unique and thought-provoking questions that injected a sense of intrigue into the courses. It was gratifying to achieve valuable and precise information.
