International Agricultural Workers and Housing in Rural Ontario

The main focus of this research is to examine housing for International Agriculture Workers in Australia, New Zealand, and the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and British Columbia. It discusses the national and sub-national government roles in worker accommodation and the support available for workers, farmers, and regional and local governments. The methods used are literature reviews evaluating government websites, internet search engines, academic journals, and community reports. The results of the literature reviews will be used in tandem with results from methods including interviews and surveys to provide recommendations to the Government of Ontario to improve worker support systems.
