They were one of 10 Polish families and six single adults to arrive in the area last October under the span» sorship of the Canadian govern- ment. and now they face the immense. frightening task of building that new life for them. selves They travelled to Austria, Wally recounted, where for four months they lived in a Vienna refugee camp awaiting word on whether their petition to settle in Canada would be approved. Why Canada? According to Danuta they were offered the choice of settling in the United States, Australia or New Zealand as well. Because, Wally replied, "the political aspect in Canada seemed good, (the country) wasn't overpopulated. the cli- mate was like Poland's and most importantly, "it is a big land with a lot of Opportunites" Since their arrival in the country, the Tydors have re ceived financial assistance from the federal government, the money used to purchase the necessities of food. clothing and shelter, while the couple has been learning English in a special class offered through Conestoga College's Waterloo Campus Thus, in July of last year, pretending to be taking a vaca- tion in Greece, the Tydors packed what possessions they could in the trunk of their car and left Poland, with no intention of re- All they wanted was a chance. So, with a dream of a better life in another land, a young Polish couple, Danuta and Wally Tydor, together with their II-year-old daughter, chose some 10 months ago to leave the country of their birth and emigrate to Canada. "It was a very difficult life in Poland, with no future." Wally recalled during an interview in his Waterloo home. “I believed that for the future of my family, my wife, my daughter" and my- self, we had to leave." Story and photo by Mode.

But, since their arrival in Canada, Danuta said. she has been unable to do the weaving upon which so much of her future rests. She would like to do more, but simply "doesn't have the money." In fact, the artist is not even certain that her type of art will find approval in Canada. "in Poland and Europe it is very popular, but in Canada. it maybe different." she said, However. despite her fear and uncertainty about the future, Danuta said she is very happy to be living in Canada now. In fact. she said. it is her dream that one day she will be able to bring her parents over to settle here as well The tapestries Danuta creates are unique, each one the product of spontaneous experimentation and innovation, and for that reason each piece is completely individual and cannot be dupii- cated. She works only from a rough sketch. never really planning in advance what the finished prod- uct will look like and what colors she will use in the tapestry. In fact, Danuta explained. often she will dye the wool she uses as she needs it, depending on what appeals to her at the moment. jobs regularly checking help wanted columns. responding to advertisements, willing to do almost anything, but so far, neither has met with any suc- cess.
