Canada’s Governor General Visits Regina Open Door Society

Canada’s Governor General, Mary Simon, visited the Regina Open Door Society on Tuesday as part of her three-day visit to the province. The society helps newcomers integrate into Canada by providing language instruction, government information, and support for success in Canadian society. Learners shared their immigration stories with Simon, who spoke about her own experience growing up speaking an Indigenous language at home, English in school, and now learning French. Ricardo Arisnabarreta, language services manager at the society, emphasized the significance of Simon’s visit for learners and the importance of government recognition of their work.
