Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Teaching English to immigrant women in the Ontario Housing Corp. apartments in Weston; Harriet Hyman stands between Katerina Frey (left) and Zainab Sultan. The classes are designed to help women integrate into Canadian society and make friends. Mrs. Frey; 63; came to Toronto 19 years ago; but speaks little English because she confined herself to German-speaking friends; now she wants to get to know her fellow tenants in the apartments.
