Culture to integrate newcomers

"I take it as a very beautiful gift from the country that welcomes us" says Marina Melteva, one of the spectators who attended the Assembly Hall show, by the Kidd Pivot company at Danse Danse this week.

Sara Ennasri, who arrived from Morocco at the start of the pandemic three and a half years ago, was also delighted to attend Assembly Hall. "It's really nice to have free or low-cost tickets, especially for a student," says the 30-year-old speech therapist. "Cultural outings help me discover Montreal and meet people," she says.
