Saskatchewan and Jeremy Harrison

Jeremy Harrison: "It very important," Jeremy Harrison, Saskatchewan Minister responsible for immigration, said. "Newcomers often have some very, very real challenges being brand new in Canada, brand new in Saskatchewan, and brand new in Regina." , according to CBC. Regina city councillor Shawn Fraser was also on hand for the website launch. He said it a good step toward helping people fit in to the city, but citizens can always do more to make people feel welcome. The City of Regina has received $30,000 from the federal and provincial governments to launch welcometoregina.ca , which aims to help new immigrants settle in the city. Harrison added the site contains information that many people who have always lived here may take for granted, such as where to shop for groceries. He said the site was created with help from newcomer groups like the Regina Open Door Society, who provided further insight on what new immigrants to Regina often want and need to know.
