“Families are settling into our Lethbridge community quite well, we are working to assist folks that need to get into ESL programs, as well as finding places for them to stay and working towards finding employment,” said @DevonHargreaves, media liaison.

Miranda and I are incredibly grateful to Dr. Chuck and the folks at Clearly Dental, as well as an incredibly generous anonymous donor who covered the costs in full, for their assistance with our new Ukrainian arrival Julia's dental needs. My heart is so full today.

We're seeking legal counsel to assist in developing waivers to ensure the safety of volunteers, hosts, and guests. If you're able to assist, it would go a very long ways in facilitating the placement of arriving Ukrainians, and the families that put them up.

[Project Sunflower @PRJ_Sunflower]

Are you hiring? Ukrainians are seeking employment opportunities #YQL!

As more individuals begin to arrive, many are eager to get to work. We will do all we can to assist them in this process, and any leads are appreciated!

A new non-profit is getting off the ground here in the city to support those who have been affected by the war in Ukraine. @PRJ_Sunflower works closely with Ukrainians overseas to help them get visas and will help those find suitable housing. #yql
