What our users say
Refugees rebuilding. Canadians reaching out. These are the voices behind the Haven community.
Camila
As a non-native English speaker who struggled to learn the language, I am happy to be able to support refugees in their journey to build a life in Canada. Language is at the core of what makes us human, and making myself available to others to practice has been my chance to give back and to build community.

I now talk with four Canadians on Haven. I’m so grateful to them for the opportunity to talk and for their patience with my English!
Barb
I had no expectations at all [when getting involved with Haven]. I've never really helped people learn English before, and I've never dealt with refugees, so I was totally open. I've been surprised by how easy it is to chat with them — it's truly appreciated.
