Guest Book Remittance Men Introduction Beginning in the 1880's, groups of British Remittance Men came to Canada looking for a new life. A Remittance Man was called that because most received a scheduled remittance or allowance from their families. These payments were often made in order to keep the man away from Britain where it was thought he would cause problems for his family. The 'Remittance Men' who came to Canada were second sons, which under British tradition of the time meant that these individuals should expect to inherit nothing from their family's estate. Following British tradition, all wealth and property were given to a family's oldest son, assuring that the family's fortune stayed in one piece. The second sons of such families often led purposeless lives, many of them not knowing what they would do to earn a living. Some of these sons were uncontrollable young men who were an embarrassment to their families on account of their indulgence in drinking, gambling and continuing rounds of parties. All were seen as a drain on the family's revenue. Whatever the case, the main solution to their situation was often the same. They would be sent off to a far corner of the British Empire to make whatever living they could.

The New Poverty in Canada: Ethnic Groups and Ghetto Neighbourhoods Abdolmohammad Kazemipur and Shiva S. Halli University of Manitoba 192 pages (December, 1999) Paper, ISBN 1-55077-108-6, $26.95 (US$21.95) ELECTRONIC VERSION: This book may be ordered in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Please contact the publisher for details. D uring the 1990s, a new surge of poverty struck the western industrial nations, including Canada. Slower economic growth both at national and international levels, globalization and the erosion of the welfare state contributed to this poverty surge. Moreover, there is a widespread perception that this poverty has become increasingly concentrated in certain neighbourhoods, known as "ghetto," "inner city," "poverty zone," etc., and that such neighbourhoods have become mostly the habitats of minority groups ö racial minorities in some societies, immigrant groups in others. This path-breaking book examines the relationship between poverty and ethnicity in Canada. The authors provide a comprehensive picture of Canadian cities with regard to the concentration of poverty and, in particular, examine whether there is an ethnic dimension associated with it. They find a disturbing trend towards rising poverty levels during the 1990s, with poverty tending to be concentrated in certain neighbourhoods. Also, certain ethnic groups, especially visible minorities and those consisting mostly of recent immigrants, seem to be doubly disadvantaged, suffering not only from a general poverty due to economic factors but also factors related to their immigration status, such as limited knowledge of the official languages and the mismatch of their skills and the demands of the labour market.

Note : Site optimized for 800X600 16 bit color Commentary Culture of Canadian Human Rights for Visible Minorities Modern Warfare Has Many Costs On the brink 2 Culture of Canadian Human Rights for Visible Minorities Delwar Jahid T Political socializations are based on attitudes, values, opinion and pattern of participation in political process. Though Canadian political traditions rooted in the western tradition however there are significant differences. Political equality and freedoms are still focal point of Canadian Charter of Rights. This culture of political tolerance in Canada has created an opportunity for the legitimate progress of minorities in the society though there are barriers to be removed. Canadians are aware of the obstacles of preventing minority participation in the political and development process. They have yet to respond it. In Canadian political socialization process public opinion has played vital rule. Government could determine policies by in-depth research of public political attitudes on the policies. It is to be noted that even since 1867 such rights and freedoms have been followed and respected by the Canadians. Fundamental freedoms and civil liberties in Canada are closely related to democratic values and process. In case of Governmental interference or hindrance the Charter of Rights and Freedoms opens the door for protection of the people. The democratic freedoms in Canada include freedom of association, assembly, expression, conscience and freedom of press.

ILLUSTRATION: TZIGANE Scout's honour BRONWYN CHESTER To the uninitiated, Scouts groups may give the impression of being comprised of old stock Canadians and led by the same. But the fact is, says Marshall, that for at least the past 15 years, many ethnic groups have participated in Scouting as distinct cultural groups. Through observation and interviews, Marshall examined the different ways in which these "ethnospecific" groups and the regular "mixed" or traditional Scout groups (from Beavers to Rovers, serving five- to 25-year-olds) contribute to the integration of immigrant children and their parents. In Calgary, for instance, where the ethnospecific group was Chinese, the children and their leader learn in a Chinese language about Canadian institutions such as the law courts, city hall and the fire station. Because the parents were interested in what their children were learning, they would frequently accompany the children on excursions. "In some cases, we found that parents offered to become volunteers for the group because their children were already members and they wanted to share in the child's learning experience in the new culture," says Marshall, whose $17,000 study is funded by Heritage Canada. Generally speaking, the children in ethnospecific groups are from recently arrived families, while those born in Canada tend to join the local, mixed Scout group. However, in some cases, Canadian-born children would join an ethnospecific group "because of the parents' wish to ensure religious, cultural or linguistic ties to their communities," says Marshall. This was the case of the Greek Scout group in Toronto, and of the Ismailis, a religion-based group, in Vancouver.

Friedrich Schiller Foundation for German-Canadian Culture Contents Introduction The Goals Membership Information Donations ... Main Home Page Introduction The grand concept of Canadian multiculturalism which offers all ethnic groups the chance of survival deserves the support of all of us. The tremendous possibilities which multiculturalism offers have not been exhausted nearly enough by Canada's Germans. Seeing the necessity to centralize the efforts promoting German-Canadian cultural projects and organizations and thereby forestall the imminent loss of cultural identity of the German-Canadian ethnic group, some of those prominent for many years in promoting German-Canadian culture took the initiative in 1981 and established the Friedrich Schiller Foundation for German-Canadian Culture, not an organization in the usual sense but rather an all-inclusive association which would like to serve all German-Canadians and which should, therefore, be supported by all. An all-out call went forward from the founders for support of this undertaking. Back to Top Membership Information Donations Contact Information ... Main Home Page The Goals The charter of the Friedrich Schiller Foundation describes the goals of this organization as follows: to receive donations, contributions, and legacies and to invest such donations according to the Foundation's statute.

The Homepage of Dr. Nanciellen Davis Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Mount Saint Vincent University Nanciellen Davis received her doctorate in Anthropology from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, in 1974. Her doctoral research was conducted in northeastern New Brunswick in an Acadian fishing village, and since that time her research has continued to focus on aspects of life in Maritime Canada. In recent years her research has entailed the comparison of households and families of Acadians and non-Acadians living in one area of nineteenth century New Brunswick. Dr. Davis’ teaching areas include the anthropological study of family, gender, and aging. She also regularly teaches courses on language and culture, ethnic relations, and Atlantic Canada.

A PRELIMINARY STOCK-TAKING ON IMMIGRATION RESEARCH IN CANADA Physical Infrastructure Domain The reviews identified three broad areas of research relating to the physical infrastructure domain. The first deals with the phenomenon of ethnic enclaves and neighbourhoods, and the general issues of residential concentrations in urban areas. The second deals with housing, housing stock, and real estate. The third is the possible impact of immigration on the pattern of use of public space. a. residential concentrations There are various explanations for the existence of residential enclaves. As described earlier, these include a desire to sustain or nourish the group, as a defense from attack, or as a result of discrimination. The notion of the ethnic enclave has evolved. The historic conception was of the existence of low income immigrant/ethnic enclaves, often useful as settlement areas for new immigrant waves, though also areas of high crime and substandard housing. There are descriptive studies of indices of segregation in various Canadian cities, and these display a wide range of variability over groups and cities. It is suggested that the problems of immigrant visible minority concentration in Canadian cities do not (yet) match those of American cities. In fact the indices of residential dissimilarity for blacks in the US are far higher than those for visible minorities in Canada. Indeed, the French language review makes the claim that there is an absence of residential segregation in Montreal; i.e. no areas where an immigrant minority group forms a majority. While this may be true there are clearly known areas in the city that do contain above average areas of some minority groups. There is also clear evidence of discrimination by whites against visible minority renters. Yet some policies developed in Quebec in the housing area in general make no mention of ethnicity which is not seen as a crucial element of housing policy.

Agencies and Corporations The Metropolis Project http://canada.metropolis.net/ The Metropolis Project is an international cooperative research project designed to stimulate multi-disciplinary research on the effects of international migration on cities. The project's main objectives are: to provide decision-makers at all levels of government, and business and community leaders, with solid information on which to base their ideas, thus making it possible to integrate research into the policy process in a more systematic fashion; to identify the "best international practices", that is, to note the solutions that best meet the challenges faced by all countries in which the major urban centres contain a large number of immigrants; and to help academic institutions develop the capacity to conduct research on all aspects of public policy, with a particular focus on immigration, the metropolis and urban systems. Since this project first began, it has been obvious that in order to achieve these three main objectives, it will be necessary to construct a network and promote information exchanges (1) among all those currently and potentially interested in the Metropolis Project and (2), in particular, between the communities that consume and those that produce scientific data and public policy.
