Show detail Hide detail

All across Canada, at every level, national life is being enriched and strengthened by the new talents and skills, as diverse as the countries from which they come, which are being poured into their adopted land by immigrants from the British Isles and Europe. This film travels to many places from coast to coast to present a visual inventory of the many ways in which Canada's present era of expansion is being helped by the newcomers who see fresh opportunities to develop existing resources - both economically and culturally - and who also come as purveyors of specialized knowledge from abroad. This film about new Canadians across Canada and their contribution to the cultural and economic life of the nation through much needed ideas, talents, and enterprise. Weaving and stained glass, ballet, opera, and symphonic music are the domain of newcomers to this country, French cuisine included. There are also researchers in medieval studies, in physics, in physiology, and in chemistry. They are inventors of "carbon black" from gases, of a microcalorimeter. They are doctors in Fort Vermillion, Alberta, treating the Mennonites and the Indians. They are farmers experimenting with agricultural techniques rarely used in Canada ie. pit silos, etc. From plastic toy business to various other industries immigrants have been the founders. In this film there is some mention of foreign ownership. <27mn>
