Upcoming Activities
In partnership with the Campbellton Centennial Library and the RIFNB, we will be presenting the film De Sherbrooke a Brooks. As this activity is part of the National Francophone Immigration Week activities, it will be presented in French.
This documentary travels the migration corridor forged between Sherbrooke, Quebec, and the town of Brooks, Alberta, by French-speaking Africans. Most have come from the Democratic Republic of Congo, some by way of refugee camps in Uganda and Tanzania. Unable to find employment in Quebec, they travelled out West. An interweaving of personal stories and the filmmaker’s own trips back and forth through the corridor offer an honest look at how much work is yet to be done to successfully integrate these newcomers.
We invite you to join us on Wednesday November 6th at the Campbellton Centennial Library. Please share this information with anyone who may be interested in attending.
