Nigerian puff-puffs, Filipino noodles, German sausages and more. We take you to the Association for New Canadians' potluck in Happy Valley-Goose Bay last week.

After being closed for about a year, the Association for New Canadians is back up and running in town. We hear from Mélanie Roy, the new Regional Settlement Coordinator in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

The Association for New Canadians held a conference last week, all about the mental health for newcomers. Morning Show reporter Darrell Roberts stopped by and spoke with ANC case worker Nevra Ozoren, 'My Journey of Hope' art program lead Alice Keough, and peer facilitator Sam.

March is multiculturalism month, and the Association for New Canadians in Forteau has lots planned to bring the community together.

While there are lots of resources for new Canadians including finding a place to live, getting access to credit, and finding a job. One thing that may be hard to find is culture. Daniel Bernhard, CEO of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship, joins us to talk about their app called the Canoo Access Pass for new Canadian Citizens and what is available on the app. Connect with the ICC on X/Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.

Yesterday, the Association for New Canadians held a summit focused on human trafficking and exploitation.It included an exercise designed to simulate the experience of some migrant workers. Varka Kalaydzhieva told CBC's Ife Alaba all about. She then caught up with Geraldine Ankrah of the ANC's SEA project, which is dedicated to ending human trafficking in this province.

Alex and Annie Bowers moved to Canada almost a year ago now. This is their first full winter, and boy are they having adventures. Between a broken snow shovel, slick roads, being stuck in the driveway and now snowmageddon they have lots to write home about. They have supplies and firewood so are prepared for nature to bring on more. Right now they can just hunker down. Hugh and Alex also talk about the impact of winter on battlefronts as Alex is a military historian.

The White Rock/South Surrey area is home to many New Canadians worldwide, including a significant community with roots in China. Like all newcomers to this country, Chinese Canadians can often experience an unsettling transition to their new surroundings, encountering language barriers, strange customs, and, in general, a different way of life that may seem confusing and counter-intuitive to the one they knew in their former country.Perhaps one of the more bewildering aspects of Canadian life for Chinese immigrants is the one they are most likely to encounter at some point: our provincial healthcare systems, and their reliance on donations and fundraising for new equipment and facilities. For those accustomed to tightly controlled healthcare structures, such as those in China, navigating the somewhat disjointed Canadian system – with its long wait times and aging equipment – must add to any feelings of anxiety and isolation they are already experiencing in their adopted homeland.However, as we'll explore in this episode of Power to Heal, there is a way for Chinese Canadians and others new to this country to become better connected and more engaged citizens – and it begins with the simple act of giving.Guests: Cici Liang, Director at Large of the Peace Arch Hospital (PAH) Foundation and President of the Surrey White Rock Community Engagement Society.William Sapphire, Portfolio Manager & Investment Advisor with RBC Wealth Management.Wenjing Zhu, PAH Foundation's Philanthropy Officer for the Chinese Community.The Power to Heal is hosted by veteran broadcaster and long-time White Rock/South Surrey resident, Wayne Cox.Presented by Peace Arch Hospital Foundation in White Rock, British Columbia, the Power to Heal podcast takes you behind the scenes of an innovative hospital Foundation. It introduces you to the team who find new and sometimes surprising ways to engage with the local community and help fund the best healthcare possible in the region. Since 1988, the Foundation has raised over $210 million for capital projects, medical equipment, and community health programs. Its passionate and caring team's priority is the prudent stewardship of your gifts and the resulting positive impact on patients and medical staff at Peace Arch Hospital and the entire White Rock-South Surrey community.Download Power to Heal wherever you get your favourite podcasts.Links:Peace Arch News: Local Chinese Canadians aim to counter COVID-19 backlashFor more information about the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, or to donate, visit pahfoundation.ca

Craig and Suzanne Sears, the CEO and founder of Luxury Careers Canada discuss the challenges faced by new Canadians in securing employment, emphasizing the vast pool of highly educated, underemployed individuals in the Canadian workforce. She stresses the importance of retailers adapting to the reality that 35% of the workforce comprises new Canadians, urging a shift in mindset towards embracing diversity and providing equal opportunities. The conversation delves into discriminatory hiring practices, with Suzanne addressing the prevalent demand for "Canadian experience" and the need for a cultural shift in employers' expectations. She anticipates potential legal changes to discourage such discriminatory practices. Moving on, the discussion turns to recent developments in the hospitality industry, specifically the ban on unpaid labour for work trials. Suzanne applauds this change, emphasizing its positive impact on making the workplace more humane and fair, particularly for new Canadians unfamiliar with stringent labor standards. The interview concludes with a glimpse into the holiday hiring landscape and economic predictions. Suzanne projects a growth of approximately 2% in the retail industry over the next six months, challenging earlier predictions of a flat or declining market. Despite cautious optimism, she anticipates retailers adapting to the changing economic climate, emphasizing the resilience and strength of the retail sector in Canada. Interviewed this episode:Suzanne Sears, President of Best Retail Careers International Inc. Subscribe, Rate, and Review our Retail Insider Podcast!Follow Craig:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/CraigPattersonTorontoInstagram: @craig_patterson_torontoTwitter: @RI_EICFollow Retail Insider:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/Retail-InsiderFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RetailInsider/Twitter: @RetailInsider_Instagram: @Retail_Insider_CanadaListen & Subscribe:Apple PodcastsSpotifyOvercastStitcherShare your thoughts!Drop us a line at Craig@Retail-Insider.com.

Canadian Universities and Colleges are increasingly welcoming students from around the world to study in Canada.  We estimate that over the last ten years, over a million international students have come to study in Canada.  And that number is rising.  International students represent some of the best and the brightest from around the world.  They come to Canadian post-secondary institutions hoping to get a world-class education and in many instances an opportunity to continue to build on the connections they make in school to jump into the Canadian labour force. But the ideal isn't always the reality.  And Conference Board of Canada research has highlighted some major gaps in the pathway from international student to Canadian.  In this episode of Leadership Perspectives we examine the challenges facing international students on the path to Canadian citizenship and provide recommendations on how to improve this system.  Read more:From Student to Immigrant?

How to get a bullet proof mortgage pre approval?In a hot market like we are in right now, mortgage pre-approvals have become front and centre…particularly, the quality and legitimacy of them.

November is Financial Literacy Month in Canada. Evelyn spoke to Enoch Omololu, DVM, MSc, whose passion is to help newcomers to Canada with their personal finances. Enoch is a veterinarian and the resident personal finance expert at Savvy New Canadians. He has a master's degree in Finance and Investment Management from the University of Aberdeen Business School (Scotland) and has completed several courses and certificates in finance, including the Canadian Securities Course. He also has an MSc. in Agricultural Economics from the University of Manitoba and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Ibadan. Enoch has been helping others win with their personal finances and has been writing about money matters for over a decade. His writing has been featured or quoted in The Globe and Mail, Winnipeg Free Press, Wealthsimple, Financial Post, Toronto Star, Credit Canada, MSN Money, National Post, CIBC, and many other personal finance publications. Evelyn and Enoch cover a range of Canadian personal finance and immigration issues including: You're a Doctor of Veterinary medicine. What was your journey, and what led you to launch a personal finance website? What are some of the biggest financial frustrations you've seen Canadian newcomers experience? What happens after they get here? Building credit. Buying a home. Setting a budget. Saving for retirement. How is personal finance the same for newcomers - and how is it different? How do you make money now, to turn this into a money-making business? You have millions of website visitors each year - that's impressive. They can't all be immigrants. Why do you think native born Canadians also visit Savvy Canadians? You've also authored several personal finance guides and eBooks. Many highly educated immigrants are coming in, business owners from other countries coming in, but yet they're starting all over again. They need to learn how we can create a financial legacy for our children, the next generation. If an immigrant is successful financially, the chances are that their descendants are going to also succeed. How do you see the financial needs of immigrants changing after they've lived in Canada 5, 10, 15 years and longer? Immigrants have taken advantage of those opportunities to grow businesses, establish themselves, become employers themselves. If you could share one piece of financial advice with immigrants before they arrive in Canada, what would that be? Developing a money mindset.

Us, Now is a collection of stories connecting Newfoundland and Labrador to the world via racialized Newfoundlanders. These are stories that fit George Elliot Clarke's thinking on what a truly Canadian national tale might be: local, yet connected, broadly and diversely. But at its core, this book, as editor Lisa Moore sagely wrote, “is a book about belonging. Sometimes in these stories, belonging is fragile and fought for, but the act of writing from a place and about a place is belonging—the sometimes sacred, sometimes scary act of witnessing means writers always stand apart and, at the same time, are a part of.”Originally broadcast on Oct 25 2021 on CHMR 93.5 FM in St. John's, and on other great stations across the country.
