immigrantchildren.ca is asking Canadian experts and advocates in immigration, settlement, refugees, and newcomers about their views on newcomer children (birth to age eight).
Each interview asks four questions. They are:
- What’s the effect of racism, discrimination, and stereotyping on newcomer children?
- There’s much discussion on integration of immigrants. What kinds of services or supports do newcomer children need to successfully integrate in Canada?
- If you could influence the federal minister of citizenship, refugees, and immigration to do one thing for newcomer children, what would it be?
- What is one of your favourite children’s books that you would recommend for newcomer children? Why?
