freedom, diversity and success

From the homesteads settled 100 years ago to modern days, Medicine Hat’s fabric is woven from the immigrants who have made this city their home.
Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey places 7.4 per cent of Medicine Hat’s population being immigrants to Canada, while according to local organization Saamis Immigration the most common country of origin for immigrants to Medicine Hat was the United Kingdom at 22.2 per cent — an unsurprising number considering the thousands of British soldiers who call CFB Suffield temporarily home. Of the 3,196 newcomers to Canada that Saamis has assisted with in its 25 years, 9.17 per cent were from Sudan, 8.89 from Bosnia & Herzegovina, 7.67 per cent were from El Salvador, 6.88 per cent were from Vietnam, 6.48 per cent were from Iraq, while others ranged from Colombia, Somalia, Ethiopia and China.
Here are a few of their stories:
JOHN JOHN, India Call it serendipity.
One of the many volunteers who make Medicine Hat’s Canada Day Celebrations happen, just happened to arrive in the country during its centennial year.
“I’m proud to be Canadian,” said John John, who hails from Southern India, moved to England in 1960 and arrived in Canada on Sept. 1, 1967.
“The first thing I saw was the Expo in Montreal,” recalled John. “It was a good time to come.”
John first lived in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont., working as an engineer with the utilities. In 1980, he made the move across the country to Medicine Hat, invited to work here by the City of Medicine Hat and finally retiring in 1998 from his position as general manager of Electric Utilities.
But from the awards and recognitions that line the walls of his home, he isn’t exactly the retiring type, even as he recently celebrated his 80th birthday.
Amongst many things, John volunteers with the Veiner Centre, Meals on Wheels, and was chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee. He volunteered for the 2011 Southern Alberta Games, and the 2008 Alberta Summer games when they were held in the Hat.
“I think I may be drafted in 2016,” he said about the Winter Games that will be hosted here in two years.
He’s a member of the Rotary Club of Medicine Hat, the Kiwanis Club of Medicine Hat, volunteers for the Cypress Bingo Society, is a member of the Fifth Avenue United Church, including chair of the board a few years ago.
In 2000 he joined up to help with the city’s Canada Day celebrations.
“Canada Day is one of the biggest attended one day festivals in Medicine Hat and we’ve got a good team of people, the credit goes to them, not to me,” he said, noting with pride that their fireworks have been rated as number one west of Toronto, while their Sandfly festival was rated Number five by a society that looks at all Canada Day celebrations.
And he says people lose nothing by volunteering.
“Everyone of us can contribute something to society, that’s what I value, my contributions, that’s what I focus on.”
Medicine Hat a melting pot of countries
