Since 2015, Laurus Summer Camp has been offering 20 free spots each week to the children of refugees or asylum seekers from Syria at its Atwater Ave. day-camp location. This summer, the camp is expanding that program to a new location in Laval, where it will offer 20 more free spots per week to newcomers. Philip Cutler and Gabriel D’Amico-Mazza, who founded the camp for kids in 2011, were moved at the time by what was happening in Syria and wanted to do something to help.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is banking on diplomacy with the United States to reduce the number of asylum seekers who enter Canada illegally. Scheer says the solution to the problem lies in a renegotiation of the Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States.

The girls and women were raped when soldiers in Myanmar forced more than 700,000 minority Muslim Rohingya to flee their homes. Hundreds of Canadian obstetricians and gynaecologists gathered in Vancouver on Friday said that nine months after the August 2017 military crackdown, an estimated 81,000 Rohingya women and girls are now about to give birth in “unthinkable” conditions.
