Episode 19: "It Was a Hard Journey, but It's Good Now" — From Mumbai to a New Life in Calgary

Amin Badani, an immigrant from Mumbai, India, is the owner and manager of Calgary Souvenirs & Gift Shop on Stephen Avenue Mall. He talks about the challenges and rewards of his early years in Canada—from arriving during COVID to adjusting to Calgary’s culture and climate. Amin reflects on the comfort of having more personal space than he was used to in Mumbai, and shares his favourite local restaurants for getting a taste of home.
