Canada has a reputation for being a welcoming destination for new immigrants and refugees. However, this reputation is not always reflected in the reality these newcomers face in British Columbia. Gaps exist in terms of education, healthcare, employment and social services, and new immigrants often face real struggles accessing the support they require. Hear from our panel of UBC and community experts online as they discuss the barriers that exist for new Canadians and explore the ways that BC and Canada can better support these individuals and families. Moderated by Michelle Eliot, BA’98, Host, BC Today, on CBC’s Radio One. Panelists The Honourable Janet Austin, OBC – Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia Chris Friesen, BA’88 – Director, Settlement Services, Immigrant Services Society of BC (ISSofBC) Amira Halperin – Sessional Lecturer, UBC Department of Sociology Guofang Li – Professor and Canada Research Chair in Transnational/Global Perspectives of Language and Literacy Education of Children and Youth in the Faculty of Education, UBC Danny Ramadan – Author, Public Speaker, LGBTQ- Refugees Activist Presented in partnership with the UBC Faculty of Education.
