Visible Minority Group: The City Of Calgary

Visible Minority Dept: According to the report, 1 out of every 5 Calgarians belongs to a visible minority group. The number is a striking departure from the ratio of year s past. In 1959, there was only 1 visible minority in every 350 Calgarians, according to CTV. Employment opportunities, a strong economy, and improving their family s quality of life are among the top reasons credited for the influx of immigrants to the Stampede city and a report from the City of Calgary says the city s population is more ethnically diverse than at any other time in Calgary s history. The Philippines, India and China continue to be the lead source countries for immigrants to Western Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
