Abstract
My research involves a compilation and analysis of the sociolinguistic facts relating to the situation of Mexican Temporary Agricultural Workers (MTAW) who come to Canada through the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program. Here, I focus on the role of the community and their participation to help MTAW adapt, while at the same time the community tries to adapt to MTAW’s seasonal presence and needs.
