group of Indian children to attend the
public school in a northern Ontario town.
The principal of the school in the town was
aware that Indian children sometimes had
a rough time at the hands of other students,
and to try to forestall this kind of situation,

of them had ever moved to a new school,
and what they thought it would feel like if
they were the strangers. In this way he

We attend meetings of immigrants and
native-born minority groups to explain to
them both their rights under the legislation
and their responsibilities as citizens of
this Province.
We also help bring people into contact
with local agencies like home-and-school
groups, community and government agen-
cies, and churches, which are available to
help but which many people don't even
know exist. Wherever there's a difficulty

Our job is to help bring people together
