Our Roots Our Future

This week the Sudbury CBC radio programs Morning North and Points North are running a series called Our Roots: Our Future.  This series is focusing on the history of immigration in Sudbury.  Despite having lived in Sudbury for awhile, I had no conception of the diverse cultural past of the city's residents.

So far the series has included segments on: 

• "Sudbury..not a favourite destination for immigrants."
• "A guided tour of Sudbury's Little Italy" 
• "In the WWII underground Polish resistance at age 14"
• "A Vietnamese woman who came to Sudbury as a refugee some 30 years ago" 

Well worth a listen if you're interested in local history or immigration patterns.
