A Caribbean Community in Ottawa, Canada - Paperback

by Dave Tulloch (Author)

The Caribbean. The images of white sandy beaches, blue skies, palm trees, warm temperatures year-round, places of leisure and fun, and pulsating

rhythms of reggae and soca music, radiate throughout each island in the Caribbean Sea. Contrast this with Canada, more specifically Ottawa, one

of the coldest cities in the world. Why would anyone wish to uproot themselves to resettle there? Many native Caribbean people accepted this

challenge and tell their stories of life in Canada in this collection.

"While the Canadian Government had specific reasons for admitting immigrants, the immigrants themselves had their own reasons for wanting to migrate to Canada ... By the time they had completed their set goals, they had established themselves inside new communities, made new friends, established new families and had been assimilated into the Canadian culture." ― Dave Tulloch.
