Welcome Shores

We are a group of friends in Halifax coming together to sponsor a refugee family.

[Welcome Shores @WelcomeShores]

For the last four years, we have been trying to bring a Syrian family to Canada. They are immediate relatives of the family that we sponsored in 2015. We have just received the wonderful news that their flights have been booked and they will arrive in Halifax in late September.
