Toronto Star – They Left the Philippines for Temporary Work. How This Small Manitoba Town Became Home
Chrisie Servanez had been told what to expect of her new home in Canada. It was remote. There would be no public transit. Stores close by 7 p.m. Still, it couldn’t be that bad, thought the migrant worker; it’s Canada, after all — it’s a first-rate, developed country. What would also leave Servanez taken aback was the number of her compatriots in this small community with a population of just 1,700 at the junction of highways 16 and 83 in the picturesque Parkland Region of Manitoba.

Toronto Star – COVID-19 Hit Racialized and Immigrant Groups in Long-Term Care Hard. A New Report Says Data Is Needed for Change to Happen
Residents and workers in Canada’s long-term-care system have been harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic — and those who are racialized and from immigrant communities likely have been affected most, a new report says. But the lack of demographic data on what these groups face in long-term care makes it difficult to pinpoint how they’ve been impacted, and what their needs are, according to physicians and researchers who authored the report, published Thursday by the Wellesley Institute and the National Institute on Aging.
