Grant Snapshot: Migrant workers on Vancouver Island work in the restaurants, hotels, shops, and care facilities that drive the region's economy with no dedicated legal outreach organization to serve them where they are. The Migrant Workers Centre is bringing its community-based model directly to Island worksites, meeting workers in their languages to provide rights information and pathways to legal advocacy and empowerment.
