Emily Halldorson’s Profile Story

We had a chance to speak with Emily Halldorson, the Provincial Coordinator from Manitoba Association of Newcomer Serving Organizations (MANSO). MANSO acts as an umbrella organization for settlement service providers in the Province.

As the next planting season is fast approaching for Manitoba’s agricultural sector, we talked about Temporary Foreign Workers and Seasonal Agricultural Workers and their important impact on the Canadian economy and food system. We also discussed some of the programs and supports available to these workers.
