Originally from Cambodia, Kim landed in Vancouver in 1995 and then moved to Brooks, Alberta two years later. Since then, Kim has been living in Brooks and working in a local meat plant.
Having a stable income is very important for me to settle from a larger city to a smaller city. As an immigrant like myself who cannot speak English fluently, being able to build a livelihood wherever there is an opportunity was an important consideration.
This clip shows the site of the former Cassils Centre Mall in Brooks that had been demolished in the early 2000’s. Today, it is the site of Safeway, Canadian Tire, and other businesses. The mall used to be a place for me to see and encounter people in the community. Once the mall had been demolished, I would go to larger cities more often.
