Time Tens: Ivory Coast and Refugee Camp

time tens: Their files were handed over to Canada and finally in July, they came to Killarney, Man. with Dickson seven-year-old son. "Here we are free, according to CBC. The people are very friendly," Joh said. "It feels like home even though the town is small." The trio arrived in Canada and resettled as sponsored refugees at the same time tens of thousands of Syrian refugees were arriving in Canada. The two friends, 42 and 40, met in a refugee camp in Ivory Coast after fleeing Liberia. Zoe Dickson & Felicia Joh home in Killarney, Man., is a far cry from the plaster hut they lived in after fleeing Liberia for a refugee camp in Ivory Coast. It was fully furnished, complete with clothes and appliances. Dickson said they cried tears of joy when they arrived in Killarney, 240 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg, at their small, charcoal-coloured home. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
