Tina Fielding, Community Health Representative, AHS - I work with our Low-German speaking families in Southern Alberta and help others to understand the culture. As I do this work, I often find myself thinking back to my childhood experiences. Having grown up with a rather strict Mennonite upbringing, it took me many years to understand and comply with the Canadian culture that we were now being raised in. There were many struggles within my heart as I went to school in the Canadian public school system and attended church at the Old Colony Mennonite Church on Sundays. Often the two were so very contradictory, and for a young child it was hard to navigate the two worlds.
