Our Secrets: A Collection of Immigration Stories
Our Secrets is a compilation of nineteen moving, raw stories collected through interviews with immigrants to Canada from Africa and Asia. We honour the bravery of those who made this collection possible.

Read about Canada's rescues of desperate and endangered immigrants, powerful stories that detail their adaptations to a whole new culture. Displaced by war, poverty, abuse, and genocide, these people built up their new home and uplifted those around them as much as they could. Some surpassed every expectation for success, whileothers failed-or were failed-at the outset.

However, all real success is based on the traits that unite all good people: namely, the willingness and courage to evolve into our best selves.
