Cumberland County: Nova Scotians and Population Increase

cumberland county: Our population increase was in large part because of the influx of Syrian refugees, according to The Chronicle Herald. They have become our newest Nova Scotians and part of our Canadian family. The vast majority of Nova Scotians have opened their hearts and communities to those seeking a better life. This country was built on immigration and we are all stronger exactly because of our diversity. As representatives of the Syrian sponsorship communities from across Cumberland County, we recognize that in many cases learning English is a lifelong exercise. Our acceptance of difference is what makes Canada a beacon among countries. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
