Peter Vinet/The United Church of Canada –  The Bakour family, Syrian refugees sponsored for resettlement by Metropolitan United Church, arrive at Pearson airport near Toronto in 2015.

Here’s a letter you can adapt to sent to the Canadian Immigration Minister as well as your own MP to extend travel support to Syrian refugees. You could also add a section about having more people to speed up speed up the processing and arrival of privately sponsored Syrian Refugees. You can also find an online petition to that effect here.

    Thanks for this Allan. We will make sure that it gets circulated to the 100+ people that signed on to help with our family in Canmore. We are ready but they are in Lebanon. How is the call process going as you search for a new minister? Mary >
