The event held multiple mental health workshops which workers participated in for a chance to enter the raffle. The FCJ team got to hand out some raffle prizes to workers and also held an information table at the event, handing out resources regarding our programs. Thank you to everyone who came to speak with us at the event!#MentalHealthWeek #Simcoe #MigrantWorkers #TemporaryForeignWorkers #Canada

Members of the FCJ Refugee Centre's Anti-Human Trafficking team attended the 'Welcome Amigos: Spring BBQ' event in Simcoe, in honour of national mental health week. Agricultural temporary foreign workers in the Simcoe region came from farms nearby to attend the barbecue. The event was supported by community organisations such as TNO, the Huron Farmworkers Ministry, and the Canadian Mental Health Association.#MentalHealthWeek #Simcoe #MigrantWorkers #TemporaryForeignWorkers #Canada

@Sanderde It's a tough lesson for the west that we don't know how to produce what we (or rather investors) want. We have been surpassed.
15 years ago China brought in 200 of its own workers as TFWs from China to build and run a coal mine in Tumbler Ridge BC because our miners didn't have the expertise to do that type of mining.
Then it took more TFWs from China to set up a training school here and start recruiting and training Canadians to replace them in the mine.

As promised, videos from the G7 Summit protests in Calgary in my latest Substack post.
Isa Carlin, Migrante Alberta: "There are undocumented children in this province who haven’t been to elementary school in months or years because of their immigration status."
"Temporary foreign workers on farms here in Canada face some of the most intense forms of exploitation and degradation. Many workers and their families face limited access to clean water because of their living and working conditions - eight family members sharing one bathroom, migrant workers living in trucks, agricultural workers denied the right to breaks and adequate hydration during hot summer months."

@Rural_Canadian Thank you for sharing this.
I recall 10 years ago Husky outsourced its hiring program to Saipem who laid off 270 unionized workers at a Husky plant north of Ft McMurray and replaced them with temporary foreign workers from Mexico, Italy, Portugal and Ireland.
At the time there were 338,189 tfw's living in Canada compared to 257,515 immigrants admitted. #TemporaryForeignWorkersTemporary Foreign Workers at Husky proof program is broken: AFL

Why the health-care sector is hiring temporary foreign workers like never before | CBC News https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/health-care-sector-temporary-foreign-worker-program-1.7242092 “Persistent staffing shortages in the #HealthCare sector across Canada in the wake of the pandemic have led some organizations, including some provincial government agencies, to increasingly call upon #TemporaryForeignWorkers to fill positions in clinics, hospitals and senior care facilities across the country.”

Wow! I would hgave expected under 1%. And I thought they were not allowed for so called "unskilled" occupations like servers?? I am not opposed to immigration and refugee claimants - we need them and NO ONe is Illegal! (esp on stolen land) but everyone employed in this country, needs to have rights - this class of people with no rights - of course, exlpoiits them the most, but hurts us all.
