Toronto Star – ‘9428’ Is a Young Child’s Compelling Immigration Story at This Year’s Fringe Festival
The voices of doubt eat away at the mind. In the head of Arman (Aylin Oyan Salahshoor), the seven-year-old protagonist at the centre of “9428,” they manifest in the form of a shape-shifting, anthropomorphic immigration monster. Less of a demon and more of a jocky schoolyard bully, the creature badgers the young girl — interrogating her about her family’s decision to migrate from Iran to Toronto, and if it was the right choice.
Calgary Herald – ‘This Is the Place to Be’: Citizenship Ceremony at Stampede Welcomes New Canadians
Amas and Osauyi Egbe’s first moments as Canadian citizens were largely spent wrangling their energetic son, Brian, as he jolted around a small stage near the Elbow River under a sun-filled southern Alberta sky. While three-year-old Brian is Canadian by birth, his parents — more than four years after emigrating to Canada from Nigeria — finally joined him as official Canadian citizens at a ceremony on the Stampede grounds Monday morning.
Globe and Mail – Ukrainian Newcomers Struggle to Make Ends Meet in Canada
Sabina Abilova and Andrii Koziura sit at the dinner table in their basement apartment, laptops open, searching for jobs that might help them pay for next month’s rent.

Globe and Mail – Ukrainian Newcomers Struggle to Make Ends Meet in Canada
The cost of housing is proving to be one of the top issues for Ukrainian newcomers arriving under a special federal program announced in March that permits them to work or study in Canada for three years. Ms. Abilova and Mr. Koziura decided to apply to come to Canada since Ms. Abilova’s sister already lived in Toronto. Being approved under the program was relatively easy, but getting information and support on matters like housing, public transit and employment has been tough, Ms. Abilova says.
CBC News – Historic Quebec City Site Blanketed in Life Jackets to Call Attention to Refugee Crisis
The tide of the St. Lawrence River fills and empties the moat surrounding the historic Royal Battery in Quebec City’s Petit Champlain neighbourhood. And from now until October, thousands of life vests of all shapes and sizes attached to the old greystone walls of the battery will float with the tide. In all, 2,000 life jackets adorn those walls — part of an exhibition simply called Life Jackets, by Chinese artist and humanitarian activist Ai Weiwei. The display is an effort to raise awareness about the refugee crisis and mass migration, and every single plastic and fabric buoyancy device, neatly aligned in rows, tells one refugee’s story.
CTV News – Saskatchewan Enlists Help from Argentinian Philanthropist to Transport Ukrainian Refugees
Premier Scott Moe said that the province looked for another way to bring Ukrainian refugees to Saskatchewan after a federal government flight was diverted. “At the last minute the federal government diverted it to Montreal,” Moe said. “We don’t know why they did that.” This incident led the province to partner with Enrique Pineyro, a pilot and philanthropist from Argentina.
