Sask. leaders preparing for refugees after federal announcement
Despite the federal government laying out its plans on Tuesday to help resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada, Regina’s mayor doesn’t have any more information regarding how many will come to the Queen City and when.
Michael Fougere expects that will come within the next day.
“The most challenging part now is being organized to receive them … making sure that we’re ready to go,” he said shortly after the government’s announcement.
The city is focusing on five main areas: housing management, donation management, volunteer management, newcomer communication and public communication.
