“Moving to a new city can be daunting and this is an excellent opportunity to learn what our community has to offer,” mayor Jason Hamling said.

“Some people might not have been able to make those important social connections due to the various restrictions we’ve had to live with over the past couple of years ... it’s a great chance to speak with other people who have moved to the area about their experiences, as well as learn from the locals."

Orange City Council staff and representatives from local community groups will be there to answer questions and help put people in touch with a range of local services.
