About Us

New Horizon Social Enterprise

New Horizon has been operating in Edmonton's inner-city neighborhoods since 1995. Founded by two new immigrants with a strong commitment to supporting the settlement and housing needs of new refugees and immigrants, the enterprise began with a mission rooted in compassion and community service. Over time, its work expanded to include supporting housing needs for Indigenous communities in the inner city.

New Horizon has evolved into a solid and reputable social enterprise specializing in small-scale construction, renovation, and property management. In recent years, the enterprise has expanded into real estate investment, with a focus on renovating and restoring abandoned houses in the inner city.
