Construction Industry and David Cocco

David Cocco: Cocco found work first in the furniture industry and then the construction industry. He married, twice, had four children and built a life in the GTA. He has no regrets about moving to Canada, but advises others to make sure they come knowing one or both of Canadas official languages. Otherwise it can be very tough to get work, according to The Star. It was a lot of snow over the night. It was Friday. My friend called me and said, Lets go get beer. It was about a block away. Before I reached the house I couldnt hold the case. I wasnt dressed properly and my fingers were frozen. I went out in a t-shirt and David Cocco, 58, came to Canada in 1977 from the Dominican Republic. He had just graduated from high school and came to visit his sister, who had come to Canada to study and had married. It was while visiting her that he decided to stay, abandoning his dream of studying engineering or architecture back home. What was your first experience of snow and winter like?
