1905 Southfield Cl Brights Grove, ON CA
When did your family move to this place and why?
We moved to this place in 1988. My father had been transferred from Toronto to Sarnia at his job with Via four years earlier. When we had moved to the area my parents had bought a house, and were able to move into a larger house.
How has this history affected your life and perspective?
We moved to a small community on the outskirts of a relatively small city when I was just starting school. Growing up in an area limited the amount of diversity that I experienced. I would say that the cultural makeup likely aligned with national averages – there were visible minorities of various ethnicities in the area where I grew up. However, most of the visible minorities were professionals and their families who had recently come to the area to work in the petrochemical industry that dominates the area. So, while I grew up in a somewhat ethnically diverse area, the socioeconomic background of the various ethnicities didn’t necessarily align with the broader Canadian makeup.
What is your gender (if you are comfortable disclosing)?
What is your generational status: 1st generation in Canada, 2nd generation, and so on?
Members of my family came to Canada prior to confederation. I can’t find anyone in a family tree that wasn’t born in Canada.
