Understanding Migration (24 Jan 2022 at 9:30 AM)

This workshop introduces participants to the complexities of migration and explores some of the social factors that shape the settlement process for newcomer and immigrant communities such as language, income disparity, housing, loss of status, and discrimination among others. It will encourage participants to move away from a single narrative of migration and see the great diversity that characterizes the experiences of newcomers and immigrants in Canada.

Across the territories, at least 50% of federally appointed judges were women whereas in the rest of the country, less than 50% of federally appointed judges were women. Notably, courts in Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island had the lowest percentage of women at 35.7% and 40.0%, respectively.
