COVID-19 and the Health and Safety
of Migrant Workers in Maritime Canada

COVID-19 and the Health and Safety of Migrant Workers in Maritime Canada is the first research project launched under the current partnership. It intends to answer the following questions:

• What are the experiences of migrant workers in the agri/food business in the Canadian Maritimes?
• How has the current COVID-19 global health pandemic impacted the experiences of migrant workers in the Canadian Maritimes?

We are interested in hearing about the experiences of Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) employed in the agricultural or food sectors in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia.

Participation

Any worker who is employed as a TFW in Maritime Canada and can speak English fluently and/or Spanish is eligible to participate.

A $15 token of appreciation will be provided for participating.
