LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF MANITOBA
2004
Mr. Peter Dyck (Pembina): My comments will be more area-specific, although I certainly agree with immigration toward the total province of Manitoba. I want to relate, in just a few minutes, some of the experiences that I have had with the immigrants who have come to southern Manitoba.
So, Mr. Speaker, that is at the outset how this started. Adele Dyck, who herself was an immigrant, she immigrated a number of years ago from Paraguay, knew the experiences that new immigrants faced and some of the challenges that they had when they came to a new country.
What she did was that she, together with a group of people, people who were assisting her, established a forum and a way in which they would be able to assist the new immigrants when they came to Manitoba.
That included things like picking them up from the airport, taking them out, showing them the local area, meeting with the employers, the potential employers, and in that way also giving them the tour of the area and indicating to them some of the areas, I guess possible challenges, if you want to talk about weather challenges, but also some of the benefits of moving to this area.
