A lifetime dream came true for a Ukrainian refugee in Ottawa as he laced up to skate with a local hockey team. Andriy Maslov, a 44, had the chance to live out his dream of playing hockey when he took to the ice with members of the Ottawa 67’s on Monday. Growing up in Odesa, Ukraine, Maslov never had the opportunity to play hockey because there were no facilities in his small town.
Le premier ministre Justin Trudeau a remercié mardi le Québec d’avoir été « généreux » dans l’accueil de demandeurs d’asile qui empruntent le désormais célèbre chemin Roxham, au sud de Montréal, pour entrer au pays. « Je veux souligner à quel point [le] Québec, particulièrement, a été extraordinairement généreux et présent dans cette situation difficile.

Maj. Lisa Compton, who’s now retired, helped the man she calls “John” — in order to keep his identity safe — and his family apply for Canadian refuge status in August 2021 when the Taliban retook hold of Afghanistan.

Days after a Haitian man was found dead in Quebec near an irregular border crossing, groups held a vigil in his honour and called for changes to rules regarding migrants. The body of 44-year-old Fritznel Richard was discovered earlier this month. Police say he appears to have died of hypothermia. Richard had been reported missing to the Montreal police in late December but a search for him was called off on Dec. 29 because police believed he had entered the U.S.
