Soulpepper-Culture Link: Canadians and Justin Trudeau

soulpepper-culture link: But once newcomers have made the difficult transition of leaving one country for another and their most basic needs are met, how can those arriving in Toronto get a deeper understanding of their new cultural landscape For Isabella Yan, a 2016 participant in the Soulpepper-Culture Link New Canadians Welcome Program, the answer is simple theatre, according to NOW Magazine. This program has made our new Canadian life enlightening, enriching and much fun. Many Canadians, including Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party, have been distinguishing between our approach to welcoming new Canadians with what's taking shape in the United States and elsewhere in the world. It is a great life experience, says Yan, who emigrated from China. The experience helps create crucial first connections with other newcomer families and the arts community through special welcome events and a full year of free tickets to all Soulpepper performances. Founded in 2015 and supported in part by the annual Soulpepper at Play fundraising event, the program invites newcomers in Toronto to be part of the creative community at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto's Distillery District.
