How is diversity viewed in our province? Results of our
consultations• Diversity & Multiculturalism viewed positively.
• Recognize importance of Education; that fear of the unknown/ lack of exposure can cause people to be less open to immigrants.
• Conversely, in rural NL, immigrants are more likely to be welcomed with open arms as they are often the precious and valued health care providers, entrepreneurs that fulfill major need in the community.
• Close-knit communities and cultures can result in isolation of newcomers from other parts of the province as well as from other parts of the world.
