Amy Henderson: Food and Leisure Facility

amy henderson: It a really tough journey for a lot of people, said Amy Henderson, newcomer program co-ordinator at Food Matters Manitoba, according to Metro News. When they get here they think their troubles are over, but there still a lot of adjusting and they have to learn a new language. Since opening in May, the Garden of Nations has been a source of fresh, healthy food and companionship for 15 families still adjusting to life in Canada. The support is there at first, but then it dries up after a while and it can be really stressful and hard to afford healthy food. Given the need, putting the garden outside the North Centennial recreation and leisure facility made perfect sense, Henderson said. Having access to food can be especially difficult in the inner city, where a third of Winnipeg new immigrant often settle. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
