Ep 18: Inclusive Immigration

Femme Wonk by Katie Davey

In today's episode we're joined by Ginette Gautreau -- assistant director at the New Brunswick Multicultural Council. We talk about inclusive immigration, which at its core, is as simple as treating immigrants as humans rather than economic engines.

We asked Ginette how can folks listening can promote a more inclusive conversation around immigration. Here are the tips she suggested:

1. Volunteer and attend events with the multicultural communities in your own communities
2. Look at how you’re bringing newcomers into your space - are you actively trying to diversify folks around the table?
3. Reinforce kindness, curiosity, open openness with your own actions
