Plain Apartments: Immigration

Downtown Vancouver Dept: That is the memory many refugees carry after the first two weeks of their suddenly revived lives in Canada: The odour of the laundry detergent in the yellow plastic container that suffuses their blankets and sheets, according to Vancouver Sun. The 12 plain apartments of downtown Vancouver's taxpayer-funded Welcome House facility are half a world away from the crowded, unsanitary, hot and ramshackle camps most of these refugees have just left behind and for most it is the smell of Sunlight soap. Sunlight soap smells to them of ... security. As reported in the news.
