Airport Welcome Program

Every fall, student volunteers wearing orange t-shirts come together at Toronto Pearson International Airport (International Arrival Terminals 1 and 3) to welcome new international students arriving in Canada. The Airport Welcome Program offers a fantastic opportunity for volunteers to support newcomer students as they transition to their new city. This initiative is a collaborative effort between Mohawk College and McMaster University.
