RÉSUMÉLes maisons de soins infirmiers au Canada sont devenues de plus en plus dépendante des aides soignants immigrants. Plus qu’aucun autre groupe ethnique, les femmes philippines sont surrépresentées parmi les aidants (aides soignantes) dans le système de soins de santé canadien. Cette étude qualitative a exploré les expériences d’emploi des aides soignants immigrantes dans les maisons de soins infirmiers, de leurs points de vues, ainsi que ceux des intervenants. Quatorze entrevues ont été menées à Winnipeg, au Manitoba, avec aides de soins de santé philippines et avec les intervenants de soins de longue durée. Les résultats indiquaient que les réseaux sociaux immigrants agissent comme des voies reliant les femmes immigrantes des opportunités d’emploi dans les maisons des soins infirmiers. La composition de la main-d’œuvre est également faconnée par les stratégies de gestion et les ajustements du marché du travail, qui répondent à et renforcent ces réseaux sociaux. Ces résultats ont des implications pour la planification de la main-d’œuvre et la qualité de la prestation de soins dans les maisons de soins infirmiers.

Full textAbstract:
How did marginalized and racialized ethnic immigrants transform themselves into active, armed colonial agents in nineteenth-century Western Canada? Approximately twenty Icelanders enlisted to fight Louis Riel’s forces during the North-West Resistance in 1885, just ten years following the arrival of Icelandic immigrants in present-day Manitoba. Forty more reportedly enlisted in an Icelandic-Canadian battalion to enforce the government’s victory in the fall. This public, armed stance of a group of Icelanders against Indigenous forces in 1885 is somewhat unexpected, since most Icelanders were relatively recent arrivals in the West and, in Winnipeg, members of the largely unskilled urban working class. Moreover, they were widely rumoured among Winnipeggers to be from a “blubber-eating race” and of “Eskimo” extraction; community accounts testify to the discrimination numerous early Icelanders faced in the city. These factors initially make Icelanders unexpected colonialists, particularly since nineteenth-century ethnic immigration and colonial suppression so often appear as separate processes in Canadian historiography. Indeed, this scholarship is characterized by an enduring belief that Western Canadian colonialism was a distinctly Anglo sin. Ethnic immigrants often appear in scholarly and popular histories as sharing a history of marginalization with Indigenous people that prevented migrants from taking part in colonial displacement. Proceeding from the neglected history of Icelandic enlistment in 1885 and new developments in Icelandic historiography, this article argues that rather than negating ethnic participation in Indigenous suppression, ethnic marginality and the class tensions it created could actually fuel participation in colonial campaigns, which promised immigrants upward mobility, access to state support, and land.

Les écoles francophones du Manitoba connaissent depuis quelques années une augmentation notable du nombre d’immigrants dans leur population scolaire. Ces nouveaux arrivants viennent de divers pays et de divers contextes de migration, qui font varier le profil des élèves, du point de vue tant ethnoculturel que sociolinguistique. Par ailleurs, un regard plus appuyé sur le paysage scolaire montre une tendance migratoire majoritairement africaine et relevant de la catégorie d’immigration dite «humanitaire». La recherche présentée dans cet article est axée autour des deux aspects suivants: connaître les perspectives des enseignants de la communauté francophone de Winnipeg par rapport à l’inclusion des nouveaux arrivants en milieu scolaire; comprendre les expériences qu’ils ont vécues, les défis auxquels ils sont confrontés dans le développement de pratiques pédagogiques inclusives et les divers ordres de facteurs qui caractérisent leurs comportements. En ce qui concerne les facteurs personnels, un sentiment d’accomplissement peut être dégagé; par contre, les enseignants, confrontés à de nombreux défis, avouent ressentir un sentiment d’insuffisance. En ce qui concerne les facteurs contextuels, les enseignants dans leur quasi-totalité décrivent le cadre idéologique et politique relatif à l’inclusion des nouveaux arrivants comme étant un facteur positif; par contre, ils se questionnent quant à la faisabilité d’une intégration scolaire réussie et sont préoccupés par l’isolement social, voire la marginalisation, qu’éprouvent certains jeunes nouveaux arrivants. Les enjeux de leur inclusion sont en effet multidimensionnels, dans la mesure où les discontinuités touchent au social, à l’identitaire, au langage, à l’affectif et au pédagogique. L’article, qui montre que les enseignants ne sont pas, à l’évidence, indifférents en ce qui concerne l’intégration scolaire des nouveaux arrivants, se termine par quelques implications, qui touchent, entre autres, à la mise en oeuvre de la politique d’inclusion, à la formation initiale et continue au personnel enseignant, aux pratiques pédagogiques exemplaires et à la mise sur pied au Manitoba d’un forum sur l’intégration scolaire des élèves immigrants.

The Rainbow Community Gardens in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is a community project that supports immigrant and refugee families and helps them to grow their own food. The photos and accompanying text that make up this photo essay examine the role of food and community gardens as a means of expressing cultural identity, and the possible benefits of the Gardens in terms of building community, learning new skills, and growing culturally appropriate foods that can contribute to people’s health and food security. These benefits, and the mission of the Gardens, have gained new relevance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on gardening, food systems, and marginalized groups in Canada.

Full textAbstract:
Through a case study of the city of Winnipeg, this paper examines perspectives on Indigeneity and ethnocultural diversity in the context of planning for reconciliation at the scale of a city as inhabited by both Indigenous and racialized communities. The authors reveal a separation between Indigeneity and immigration discourses in academic literature and in planning practice and problematize the processes by which cities plan for diversity. This paper draws from 42 semi-structured interviews conducted with Indigenous and racialized inhabitants, organizational officials, and planners in Winnipeg to reveal that amid the absence of strong municipal planning and programming, intercultural understanding between Indigenous and immigrant inhabitants has developed in the city, and that planners can do more to help to sustain and enhance it. The authors conclude that by increasing the level of literacy and competency in ethnocultural diversity and in Indigeneity, and by focusing on processes of planning, planners and municipal officials can play a more constructive role in enhancing intercultural relations and advancing reconciliation in Winnipeg and other Canadian cities.

Full textAbstract:
Language contact leads to a number of linguistic phenomena, most noticeably code-switching, which refers to bilinguals’ utilization of two languages in the same conversation and even within a single utterance. This study investigates Arabic-English code-switching among Jordanian immigrants in Manitoba, Canada and presents a qualitative analysis of the socio-pragmatic functions this linguistic behavior serves. The participants were 11 (3 females and 8 males) Jordanian immigrants living in Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba. Two instruments were employed to elicit the data necessary for this study: audio recordings and semi-structured interviews. The code-switching occurrences were categorized into different socio-pragmatic functions based on the analysis of the content of almost 18 hours of recorded conversations. The analysis of the content of the audio-recordings besides the semi-structured interviews showed that Jordanian immigrants resort to code-switching to achieve a number of socio-pragmatic functions: filling lexical needs, integrating into the Canadian culture and lifestyle, qualifying a message, mitigating embarrassment and negative connotations, quoting the exact words of somebody, and creating humorous or ironic effect. Keywords: Code-Switching; Socio-Pragmatic Functions; Canada; Arabic; English.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background We investigated temporal trends, geographical variation, and geographical risk factors for incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods We used the University of Manitoba IBD Epidemiology Database to identify incident IBD cases diagnosed between 1990 and 2012, which were then geocoded to 296 small geographic areas (SGAs). Sociodemographic characteristics of the SGAs (proportions of immigrants, visible minorities, Indigenous people, and average household income) were obtained from the 2006 Canadian Census. The geographical variation of IBD incidence was modeled using a Bayesian spatial Poisson model. Time trends of IBD incidence were plotted using Joinpoint regression. Results The incidence of IBD decreased over the study years from 23.6 (per 100,000 population) in 1990 to 16.3 (per 100,000 population) in 2012. For both Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the highest incidence was in Winnipeg and the southern and central regions of Manitoba, whereas most of northern Manitoba had lower incidence. There was no effect of sociodemographic characteristics of SGAs, other than the proportion of Indigenous people, which was associated with lower IBD incidence. Conclusions Although the incidence of IBD in Manitoba is decreasing over time, we have identified geographic areas with persistently higher IBD incidence that warrant further study for etiologic clues.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Manitoba is a central Canadian province with annual rates of new HIV infections consistently higher than the Canadian average. National surveillance statistics and data from the provincial HIV care program suggest that epidemiological heterogeneity exists across Manitoba. New HIV cases are disproportionately reported among females, Indigenous-identifying individuals, and those with a history of injection drug use. Given the heterogeneity in acquisition, it is of interest to understand whether this translates into inequalities in HIV care across Manitoba. Methods A sample of 703 participants from a clinical cohort of people living with HIV in Manitoba, with data current to the end of 2017, was used to conduct cross-sectional, disaggregated analyses of the HIV care cascade to identify heterogeneity in service coverage and clinical outcomes among different groups receiving HIV care in Manitoba. Equiplots are used to identify and visualize inequalities across the cascade. Exploratory multivariable logistic regression models quantify associations between equity variables (age, sex, geography, ethnicity, immigration status, exposure category) and progression along the cascade. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) are reported. Results Equity analyses highlight inequalities in engagement in and coverage of HIV-related health services among cohort participants. Equiplots illustrate that the proportion of participants in each cascade step is greater for those who are older, white, non-immigrants, and report no history of injection drug use. Compared to those living in Winnipeg, participants in eastern Manitoba have greater odds of achieving virologic suppression (AOR[95%CI] = 3.8[1.3–11.2]). The odds of Indigenous participants being virologically suppressed is half that of white participants (AOR[95%CI] = 0.5[0.3–0.7]), whereas African/Caribbean/Black participants are significantly less likely than white participants to be in care and retained in care (AOR[95%CI] = 0.3[0.2–0.7] and 0.4[0.2–0.9], respectively). Conclusions Inequalities exist across the cascade for different groups of Manitobans living with HIV; equiplots are an innovative method for visualizing these inequalities. Alongside future research aiming to understand why inequalities exist across the cascade in Manitoba, our equity analyses can generate hypotheses and provide evidence to inform patient-centred care plans that meet the needs of diverse client subgroups and advocate for policy changes that facilitate more equitable HIV care across the province.

Full textAbstract:
What are grassroots “Canadian Muslims” and why not use the descriptor “Muslims in Canada”? This thesis examines the novel concept of locale specific grassroots Canadian Muslim identity of second and 1.5 generation Muslims in the prairie city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The project focuses on a generation of Muslims that are settled, embedded, and active in a medium sized Canadian metropolis. Locale plays a powerful part in the way people navigate identities, form attachments, find belonging, and negotiate communities and society. In order to explore this unique identity a case study was conducted in Winnipeg. Interviews with 1.5 and second generation Muslims explored the experience of grassroots Canadian Muslim identity. The project does not focus on religious doxy or praxis but rather tries to understand a lived Canadian Muslim identity by exploring discourse and space as well as strategies, social perceptions and expectations. Participant observation, community resources and literature also aid in the understanding of the grassroots Canadian Muslim experience. This study found that the attachments, networks, and experiences in the locale give room for an embedded Canadian Muslim experience and more negotiable identities than most studies on Muslims in Canada describe. These individuals are not foreigners living in Canada. Their worldviews develop out of this particular and embedded grassroots experience. They navigate a new kind of hybrid Canadian Muslim identity that is unique and flexible. This is the Canadian Muslim experience of 2nd and 1.5 generation Winnipeg Muslims.

Full textAbstract:
Through a case study analysis of the Central Park placemaking initiative in Winnipeg, this Major Degree Project explores the process of collaborative planning with new immigrant communities. While existing research examines the potential of placemaking to promote physical improvements through collaborative planning, we know less about whether placemaking initiatives achieve the long-term social outcomes associated with collaborative planning theory.
Located in downtown Winnipeg, Central Park is surrounded by a diverse multi-cultural community, consisting of many new immigrants. In 2008, the CentreVenture Development Corporation launched a placemaking initiative to revitalize Central Park. The community was a key collaborator in the planning and design process. This thesis examines the long-term social outcomes of this initiative. The main research methods for this project include key informant interviews, and archival and secondary source analysis of existing data.
The research finds that collaborative planning processes offer the potential to promote sustainable inner city neighbourhood revitalization. Placemaking through collaborative planning can develop new institutional capacity for participants. By developing and harnessing relational, intellectual and political resources communities can mobilize co-ordinated action toward future initiatives. The findings of this research advance the literature and understanding of collaborative planning processes, particularly within the context of placemaking with new immigrant communities. This thesis adds to the literature of inner city neighbourhood revitalization and collaborative planning theory.October 2015

Immigrants have been recruited to Canada for their societal and economic importance. Yet it is well documented that skilled workers encounter many barriers re-entering their internationally trained fields in Canada. Among others, the communication and cultural barriers, although recognized as major ones, have more often been mentioned than studied in depth. A case study has been designed to explore this topic from the re-entry experiences of six immigrant professionals in three different fields: engineering, medicine, and banking. This study also examined the professional language re-socialization support provided by a new type of higher-level, occupational specific language training program (Enhanced Language Training) in the three mentioned professional fields.
