Acadie Nouvelle – Le tiers des réfugiés syriens dans les localités francophones

Près d’un réfugié syrien sur trois au Nouveau-Brunswick sera accueilli dans une communauté francophone, avance la ministre Francine Landry. Les 1500 réfugiés que souhaite admettre la province s’installeront tout d’abord dans l’un des trois centres d’accueil provinciaux à Moncton, Fredericton et Saint-Jean, précise la ministre de l’Éducation postsecondaire, de la Formation et du Travail.

Radio-Canada – Des réfugiés de la mer vietnamiens amassent des fonds pour les réfugiés syriens

Des Calgariens d’origine vietnamienne qui sont arrivés au Canada avec les boat people offrent du soutien aux réfugiés qui viennent de Syrie. Ils ont organisé un dîner et une vente aux enchères pour amasser près de 10 000 $ jeudi soir afin d’aider ces réfugiés à s’installer à Calgary. Peter Phan fait partie de ceux qui souhaitent aider à accueillir les nouveaux réfugiés syriens.

The Globe and Mail – B.C. Homeowners and Developers Helping House Incoming Refugees

According to Chris Friesen, director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of BC, when it comes to bringing in refugees, housing is the most important piece – and the single greatest challenge. Over the past nine years, real estate prices and rental rates across the Lower Mainland have skyrocketed, but the shelter allowance for refugees has remained unchanged – just $800 per month for a family with two children under 19.

The Globe and Mail – As Refugee Arrivals Begin, Syrian Canadians Look to Rebuild Their Community

Across Canada, even in famously multicultural Toronto, there’s little perceptible Syrian diaspora. Expat Syrians tend to scatter wherever they resettle, and they explain their estrangement from each other in two ways. They come from a cosmopolitan trading hub and tend to feel quickly at ease in new cultures. At the same time, the long-time surveillance and oppression of the Assad government has made them wary of each other, maintaining aloofness even after decades in Canada.

The Globe and Mail – Medical Community Across Canada Mobilizing Health Care for Refugees

Tucked behind the food court of a mall in northeast Calgary, the Mosaic Refugee Health Clinic cares for between 800 and 1,000 patients a year, making it one of the busiest in the country. In the coming months, as many as 2,500 Syrians are expected to arrive in Calgary, a wave of new patients that would swamp Mosaic’s resources. So, its staff members are making an offer, asking their colleagues in Calgary to add Syrian patients to their practices, and in return promising to share their expertise on refugee health.
