European and Turkish officials are working to smooth out their remaining differences on an agreement to help stem flows of migrants to Europe, which they hope will be signed on Sunday by European Union leaders and Turkey’s prime minister.
With the Simcoe County District School Board’s Newcomer Welcome Centre expected to become one of the county’s ground-zero locations for Syrian refugees who want to learn English, the students spoke of their new lives in Canada. […] The centre, located at the Bayfield Mall in Barrie, has about 85 students in three classrooms that run day and night all year, said the centre’s co-ordinator, Crystal Fletcher. […] “Many of these children have been out of school for three years or a lot may never have been to school,” Fletcher said. “Our ultimate goal is to give schools as much information as we can to help students integrate into their classes.”
The city has, finally, officially received word from a government agency on Syrian refugees – but there’s little to suggest resettlement plans will take place in Cornwall any time soon. City hall said Friday it has received correspondence from the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs indicating that Toronto, Ottawa, London, Windsor, Hamilton and Kitchener-Waterloo will house about 90 per cent of immigrant and refugee landings to Ontario that are government-sponsored.
All Canadians await the arrival of 25,000 Syrian refugees, but few more than school staff, who bear a huge and unique responsibility in easing their passage into Canadian society. Many child refugees have not only lived through violence, but have missed years of school and medical care. Federal funding will help hire new teachers and school workers to meet their needs.
Toronto city staff are predicting that 2,000 to 2,500 refugees fleeing Syria’s brutal civil war will settle in the GTA between now and the end of March. […] While the numbers may seem daunting, Toronto should have no problem accommodating the influx, Chris Brillinger, Toronto’s executive director of social development, told a city committee this week.
“We are going to be having many, many refugees, probably into the hundreds, coming to Guelph,” says Mayor Cam Guthrie.[…] On Dec. 7, Guthrie plans on bringing forward a notice of motion for council to consider having municipal staff explore how the city can best prepare for the hundreds of Syrian refugees expected to settle in Guelph over the next year or so. […] Transportation, health care, education, clothing, food and possible counselling for those who have gone through trauma — these are issues that need to be looked at, he said.
