Adhiero Omot has been struggling to settle into Canadian life ever since arriving in Moose Jaw on May 22, 2002.
Full quote from Omot about his first winter in Saskatchewan:
“Because it was summertime,
the immigration was not ready to provide us a jacket and all that. All of a
sudden when we flew from Toronto and there was a blizzard, there was a big
blizzard in Saskatchewan, the plane couldn’t land in Regina. It had to land in
Saskatoon.
"We came by bus and it was my first time to see snow. It was very,
very white and cold and I don’t know what to do and it was a shock. I will not
forget about it,” said Omot.
