Migrant workers focus of story night

The situation of temporary migrant workers in Canada — the invisibles and the disposables — is seen through the lens of poetry and paintings, in this night of storytelling.

Join grassroots organizers, migrant workers, and advocates who work and do their creative pursuits in their home and host languages: Spanish, Filipino, and English.
