Health Care: Lakhani and Quest College

health care: As an immigrant to Canada from her home country of Uganda, Lakhani's family was expelled in 1972, according to a biography on the Government of Canada website, according to CTV. After moving to Edmonton, Lakhani took on a mentorship role with young students who did not speak English as their first language. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Salma Lakhani as Alberta's 19th lieutenant governor Tuesday. She's also done work to advance women's rights, health care, education and championed new immigrants, the government said in a statement. Lakhani was one of the first mentors of a program that provided guidance to ESL students at Nor Quest College in Edmonton. As Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, I know she will serve the people of her province and our country well, and continue to be a source of inspiration for all Canadians, said Trudeau.
