If you're looking for something to do this afternoon, and you've got a few minutes, listen to this broadcast of CBC's Living Out Loud. This broadcast had adults reading stories that they wrote as kids and the first story of Part 2 is about coming to Canada. It's right at the beginning of Part 2, so take a minute to listen and get a sense of what it might be like to come to this country for the first time.
