Metro News – Food Handlers Course Encourages Newcomer Cooks in Winnipeg’s Kitchens
Local immigrants in Winnipeg are learning to sautée their way to employment thanks to a free food handlers’ course offered by Food Matters Manitoba.

Like a handful of cities across Canada, Surrey is being redefined by immigration. Its demographics are startling: the latest census data shows that 41 per cent are immigrants, 14 per cent have arrived since 2001.
