Syrian refugee family overwhelmed with support after arrival in Saskatoon
From war-torn Syria to Saskatoon, the only thing a new refugee family will be fighting over is breakfast.
Carlo Arslanian couldn’t have been more excited for his cousin and her family as they stepped into Saskatoon’s airport last week.
“I knew that when I saw them walking across the top deck of the Saskatoon airport from the arrival base — I could see them through the top of the glass — that they were on safe ground,” Arslanian explained.
Born in Syria and raised in Australia, Arslanian recently became a Canadian citizen after moving to Saskatoon 15 years ago through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program.
