Yes. Thank you for the question.
I just look at my own parents. When they came to this country in the late sixties or early seventies, they didn't speak a word of English, but they came to Thunder Bay because there was a large Italian population here. They were able to adapt to the community because of the supports that were on the ground here in Thunder Bay. It's very important, and Emily and I take it very seriously and are working with different groups in Thunder Bay. When we put the application in for the RNIP program, it was amazing the amount of support we did get from local agencies. When people approach us, we quickly reach out to our partners in Thunder Bay—it doesn't matter of which ethnicity—and work closely with them to help support RNIP applicants.
