Settling in a new country can be an overwhelming experience full of new challenges. Canada is a country built on immigration and the stories of this transition to a new home are central to our multicultural society. Whether you’re a newcomer to Canada or merely seeking a better understanding of the immigrant experience, Wellington County Library has a number of Young Adult titles that deal with this theme of new beginnings.
Do you have a newcomer experience that you would like to share? Do you think there is such a thing as a Canadian national identity? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section!
