Professor Wayne Caldwell on TVO's The Agenda with Steve Paikin
On Monday, February 12th, Professor Caldwell participated in a panel discussion "A Northern and Rural Appeal to Newcomers" on The Agenda with Steve Paikin. Late last year, the Canadian government pledged to welcome one million immigrants over the next three years. The areas of rural and northern Ontario, with aging populations and large gaps in labour forces, are desperate for newcomers, but if trends continue, only a small number of these immigrants will choose to live in these areas. The panel addressed how best to attract new Canadians to settle outside of Ontario's urban centres.
