We all wanted to do something concrete to help in the Syrian refugee crisis
We have formed a Group of Five (the private sponsorship program laid out by the Government of Canada) and are now in the process of fundraising to try to sponsor a refugee family to come to Port Coquitlam. As a group we are taking on the responsibility of providing financial and emotional support as this family resettles in Canada as well as orientating them to life here.
