Elementary School Teacher and Social Planning Toronto

Saudi Arabia: We didn’t know where to find these programs, according to Toronto Star. Without a good job, we couldn’t afford them, said Rahman, an elementary school teacher who moved here with her family from Saudi Arabia in 2002. We came to this country and needed to upgrade ourselves. In your first years in Canada, you have other settlement needs. Rahman experience is not unique, as a new study by Social Planning Toronto finds children of immigrants face many hurdles in accessing recreation programs. Recreation is the last thing you would think of. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
