When I tell them that I can speak Tagalog ... they suddenly perk up and become interested in speaking with me. Alberta Health Services asked the organization, whose members speak about different 80 languages, to help support workers at the Cargill meat-packing plant, the centre of Canada's largest outbreak of COVID-19.

Manzano-Leal said she talked to about 50 workers who understood English fairly well, but some had more difficulty expressing their concerns in English, especially when it came to health and well-being.
