Winnipeg Free Press – Big Jump in Immigration Welcome, Accompanied by Challenges
Manitoba’s biggest population boost in more a century has come at a time when the province is struggling with a health-care crisis and high inflation. Despite the challenges, the news is being welcomed by business leaders and others who say the province risks stagnating if it doesn’t draw more people to live and work here. Federal immigration data shows 21,630 newcomers moved here last year; 15,395 settled in Winnipeg and 1,865 went to Brandon. The rest have found homes in dozens of other, smaller Manitoba communities.

She says her government led a recruitment trip to a refugee camp in Kenya, alongside the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and other groups.
