Cooper Institute

Community Development Organization Dept: It will be a few months before foreign workers, who work mostly in fish plants and on farms, begin arriving on P.E.I., but the Cooper Institute, a community development organization, was looking to get people thinking about their needs early, according to CBC. "We're also hoping to build more awareness about what those gaps are and ways that those gaps could be filled with more support." P.E.I.'s Cooper Institute was in Murray Harbour Monday night with part of a series of workshops, talking to communities about the challenges faced by temporary foreign workers on the Island. "The work of the community really serves to mitigate some of the shortcomings in the program, then that's a really important role that communities are filling," said Institute member Josie Baker.
