About the project

Cross Pacific Resources

Cross Pacific Resources is a community project designed to make it easier for newcomers, immigrants, and refugees in the Lower Mainland to discover useful services and information.

The project is supported through Resilience Funds for Youth provided by the Canadian Red Cross.

Tim Huynh is a project participant. Tim came to Canada as an international student and has worked as a program facilitator helping job seekers and immigrants integrate into Canada, particularly in the Lower Mainland and Greater Vancouver.

The goal is to organize information around real needs, not complicated system language. Version 1 uses fictional sample data until verified organizations are added.
