All across Canada, at every level, national life is being enriched and strengthened by the talents and skills, as diverse as the countries from which they come, which are being poured into their adopted land by immigrants from the British Isles and Europe. This film travels to many places from coast to coast to present a visual inventory of the many ways in which Canada’s expansion is being helped by the newcomers, who see fresh opportunities to develop existing resources—both economically and culturally—and who also arrive as the purveyors of specialized knowledge from abroad.
