Dear friend/colleague: Immigrant men & their families face many challenges. The intense demands of adjusting to a new society put tremendous stress on their lives. The issues are many, including: affordable housing, fair employment, income security, schooling, parenting, gender roles, recognition of foreign qualifications, cultural & legal awareness in Canada, spirituality, conflict. The Immigrant Men Advocacy Network is an attempt to address these challenges. / T& b# J( m; x
