One out of seven people living in Nanaimo is an immigrant. On average, the Immigrant Welcome Centre welcomes one new immigrant family a day. Did you know immigrants generally arrive in better health than their Canadian-born peers? However, overtime as they integrate into Canadian society and adopt behaviours that have negative health impact, including eating non-traditional and less healthy foods, their health declines. This decline can be intensified by the stress that comes with the challenges of finding suitable employment and establishing a new social support network.=0D=0A=

The goal of MULTICULTURAL HEALTHFEST 2011 is to promote healthy living and to reduce barriers to health services often experienced by immigrants living in our diverse community.  =0D=0A=
