    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A temporary foreign worker says he is worried about his health due to living conditions at one of Nova Scotia’s oldest golf resorts.

    Orlando Rosas of Mexico says his cousin, who was also his roommate, contracted pneumonia due to moisture and mould not long after moving into the staff residence at the Keltic Lodge in Ingonish, Cape Breton, in May.

    Rosas also said the employer was supposed to pay for biometrics service at immigration, which is a $240 fee for things like fingerprinting and photographing of temporary foreign workers.

    The lodge’s general manager, Michael Young, said he was never told Rosas’s cousin got sick from mould, but downplayed the worker’s complaints, saying he took immediate action every time a problem came up.

    “To add insult to injury, when we had heavy rains about seven to 10 days ago, there was a flood on the lower level of the residence, so that didn’t help,” Young said.

    “As well, there is a movement throughout the country calling for full and permanent immigration status for all migrants and for status on arrival for migrant workers, which would provide them with the ability to make complaints without fear of immigration-related reprisals, access to essential services like health care and to be able to be with their families, because oftentimes they’re not able to bring their families with them when they come and work here,” Gomez said.
