Healing takes time. Rebuilding takes time. 3 years was never going to be enough.
Turkish citizens paid taxes, served our neighborhoods, and fell in love with Canada. Özlem is walking to Ottawa for them.
Extend TS2023! 🍁

#ExtendTS2023! Ce sont des immigrants légaux qui travaillent déjà, paient leurs impôts et scolarisent leurs enfants au Canada. Pourquoi les renvoyer et continuer d’accueillir des personnes sans aucun lien avec le Canada ?

#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa Her journey reminds us that hope is stronger than obstacles. Özlem, thank you for carrying our voices and standing with us. #Ozlem@cbcnews
Walking from Toronto to Ottawa for a cause means every day brings a different story.
Today, it was this beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary a peaceful reminder to keep moving forward. 🙏 #MarchToOttawa#ExtendTS2023
Would you walk 500 kilometres for your child’s future?
Every kilometre carries a family’s story.
Every step carries a child’s hope.
Stand with Özlem. Stand with TS2023 families. Share this video and help their voices reach Ottawa.

From surviving the earthquake in Türkiye to walking 508 km across Canada with her son. This is more than a walk—it’s a fight for justice. #ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa@TheHillTimes
#ExtendTS2023#MarchToOttawa The weather keeps changing—some days are rainy, and some days are very hot. But Özlem is brave. We are so proud of you, Özlem. Please hear our voices and extend TS 2023. 🙏🏻 @cbcnews@CP24@TheHillTimes
