abstract: 'The problem of attracting and retaining immigrants and refugees to rural
|
|
|
|
parts of Canada has recently emerged as a policy response to declining
|
|
|
|
population growth outside of urban areas, with particular policy
|
|
|
|
attention focused on immigration to the Atlantic Provinces. While there
|
|
|
|
has been increased scholarly attention paid to the integration outcomes
|
|
|
|
of recent immigrants and refugees to Canada who settle outside of major
|
|
|
|
cities, the bulk of this research has focused on the settlement
|
|
|
|
experiences of newcomers to smaller cities and suburban regions. Little
|
|
|
|
attention has been paid to the settlement experiences of immigrants and
|
|
|
|
refugees to rural parts of the country. Given the dominance of private
|
|
|
|
car ownership for getting around rural Canada, this article examines how
|
|
|
|
car consumption arises as a crucial component of the rural settlement
|
|
|
|
process, both from the point of view of accessing services and
|
|
|
|
employment, but also from the point of view of forming an affective
|
|
|
|
connection to rural places. Grounded in an analysis of interviews with
|
|
|
|
immigrants and refugees to North-eastern Nova Scotia, the authors
|
|
|
|
develop two key findings. First, the lack of public transportation
|
|
|
|
options in rural areas pushes newcomers to prioritize car ownership as a
|
|
|
|
means of accessing employment and other crucial services. Second,
|
|
|
|
participant narratives of car consumption reveal rural newcomers''
|
|
|
|
complex affective relationship to cars that highlight the importance of
|
|
|
|
vehicles to developing a sense of independence and belonging, further
|
|
|
|
underlining the role that cars play in rural Canada''s evolving identity
|
|
|
|
as an immigration destination.'
