Immigrant Moms: Dunne and Whistler

immigrant moms: Dunne has been a settlement worker at the Whistler Multicultural Network for the past four years, according to CBC. She told CBC's On The Coast host Stephen Quinn that she noticed a growing number of immigrants using the network's services and that there's a gap in the services available to them. That's why Andrea Dunne, an immigrant and parent herself, is launching a pilot program in Whistler called Parenting Across Cultures to help ease the burden for sleep-deprived immigrant parents and help them find a footing in the community. I noticed that if I went to a program that was already offered in Whistler, I didn't always come across a huge amount of immigrant moms even though I knew they were out there, Dunne said. Dunne said that many of these new arrivals are immigrants.
