Welcome to the City
Find Your Way
Funded by Canadian Heritage, Welcome to the City (WTTC) aims to assist first-year CÉGEP students to be better equipped to face the challenges of independent living.
The program offers opportunities to engage with other students from the regions, a handbook detailing Montréal resources, and offers campus walkthroughs to familiarise young people with the various CÉGEP campuses.
We also offer workshops on mental health/healthcare resources, cooking on a budget, tenant rights in the city, and a variety of other obstacles and anxieties that young people may face when living on their own for the first time.
So, if you’ve recently moved to Montréal and are feeling a little lost or out of place, or if you simply want to gain some confidence with some of these life skills, sign up below.
