As part of Welcoming Week 2025 and its theme, Stories We Share, we reconnect with Abdalazeez Alabbas, who first arrived in Canada with his family in 2021. In our 2022 blog post, we shared his journey of coming to Pictou County, starting work as a Continuing Care Assistant, and working toward becoming a registered nurse.
In this episode of Growing Pictou County, One Story at a Time, Abdalazeez reflects on his family’s settlement journey, shares some of the special moments they’ve experienced, and highlights how the warm welcome they received from day one made all the difference in building their new life here.
