Eastern Children in the Western World
Immigrants to Canada in the 1950s and ’60s came mostly from European countries. Now the pattern has changed and, according to the 2006 census, 58.3 per cent of the 1.11 million immigrants who arrived in Canada in the last five years came from Asia and the Middle East.
These immigrants came with their customs, traditions and religious and social values, and their children are trained in Canadian schools to practise the qualities of honesty, mutual respect and tolerance to become good citizens.
