"Atlantic Canada is renowned for its lengthy coastlines, rural expanses, a reputedly slower pace and its welcoming, warm and friendly people. But for immigrants especially, how much of this is rhetoric, and how much is reality? Atlantic Canada is renowned for its lengthy coastlines, rural expanses, a reputedly slower pace and its welcoming, warm and friendly people. But for immigrants especially, how much of this is rhetoric, and how much is reality? The Warmth of the Welcome underscores that a welcoming environment does not simply consist of ordinary people's reception of, and encounters with, newcomers and immigrants in everyday life. Beyond this human "warmth of the welcome" mentioned in official literature, and by the general public, there are also several institutional and structural layers that constitute a welcoming environment.
