Global News – ‘It’s Really Hard Being a Stranger’: Calgary Syrian Refugee Looks Back at 3 Years of Challenges
For Aya Mhana, the photos she flips through on the Canada Day long weekend are reminders of the family she left behind in Syria when she moved to Calgary three years ago. For Mhana, the music she plays and composes on her oud — a lute-like instrument— has been a source of comfort and so have the kind and generous Calgarians she has met along the way. Members of Calgary’s Syrian community, like Ghada Alatrash, have been supportive too. The pair have joined together to perform an Ode to Canada.
“Whenever anyone would think of Canada,” says Denis Shapovalov, “it was always, like, it’s a hockey country. But now it’s a tennis country.” This, though, is more than a tennis story.

CBC News – Brothers Sing National Anthem to Thank Canada for Welcoming Them
Owais Almaidani can’t remember much from the day he arrived in his new Canadian home. But the cold weather on that February day has stuck with the now seven-year-old boy. He and his younger brother, Laith, four, wanted to record a video of them singing O Canada as a thank-you to the country that welcomed his family in 3½ years ago. It took Owais two weeks to learn the anthem, he said, before he got his mother, Marwa Almaidani, to record the finished product.
