Recreation Services: Syed Hussan

Katie Simpson Dept: According to advocates, the proposed measures within the motion make it easier for newcomers to receive aid from places such as food banks and access health, employment and recreation services, and ensure their children can attend local schools, according to CTV. These people live here, they re part of our community, Hussan told CP24 reporter Katie Simpson ahead of the vote. They should be in our schools, they should be able to walk down the street to the food bank or a shopping centre or go into a shelter without fear of detention and deportation and city council has voted in favour of a motion that makes it easier for people without full and secure immigration status to access city services already available to legal residents of Canada. Syed Hussan, a spokesman for the Solidarity City Network, said there are about 400,000 people in Toronto who don t have full immigration status. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
