Developed through workshops with immigrant women,
this play is a unique look at the hopes, dreams, trials
and tribulations of newcomers to Canada. As seniors
looking back they ask the important questions – was
Canada a welcoming new home? Were they prepared
for the cold and mosquitoes? Has it meant a better
life for their children?
