Multicultural Canada

Canada is a mosaic of cultures with 1 in 5 Canadians being foreign-born, predominantly from Asia and Europe. Many immigrants settle in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. While 73% of Canadians support immigration, concerns arise regarding the integration of newcomers and their understanding of Canadian values. This discussion explores the advantages and challenges of multiculturalism, racism in diverse societies, and the refugee experience. Engage in group activities to discuss and reflect on the good and bad aspects of living in a multicultural country.
