From me and @reesormcdowell today @OttawaCitizen: Canada needs a national plan that includes the energy and expertise of community orgs to ensure refugee claimants get the support they need as soon as possible in their time in Canada - and we’ll all benefit. @refugee613
📣 Our first episode is live NOW! Together with @KayleElise, Mennonite Central Committee, and Dr. Geoffrey Cameron, University of Toronto, we discuss the role of #SponsorshipAgreementHolders in the PSR program.

The Mennonites have been helping refugees resettle to Canada for 100 year: from Ukrainians in 1920s to Vietnamese & Cambodians in 1979 or Syrians now
They know Canada can make an even bigger difference
This is why they ask @marcomendicino to do more ▶️

This little baby is 2 months old. She has been on the caravan since she was three weeks.
A mother would only take her three week old baby on such a treacherous trip if staying home meant death.
