Edris Bernard

Edris came to Saint John in 2014, after moving to the city from Campbellton, New Brunswick, to be closer to family. She began volunteering at the Saint John Newcomers Centre in 2019, after being introduced to the organization. She began working at the Centre a few months later.

Always known as a people person, Edris is the first contact at the Centre for newcomer families. She has several roles, such as administering the Volunteer Program and language classes in English and French. It is a job that fits her outgoing personality.

A life-long learner, Edris knows how important diversity is to the future growth of Saint John and enjoys helping newcomers find the resources they need in the community.
