Immigrants: Hamilton Community Legal Clinic

Hamilton Community Legal Clinic: The Hamilton Community Legal Clinic brought together about 50 people at a session on Wednesday to develop a core group to fight for the sanctuary city concept, according to CBC. The concept would mean a don't ask, don't tell policy where immigrants can go to public health or other taxpayer-funded agencies without fear of being turned in to authorities, said Maria Antelo, a community development worker with the legal clinic and A sanctuary city is a place where immigrants can access city services regardless of their citizenship status, and a local group wants Hamilton to become the second one in Canada. A sanctuary city would mean that immigrants can access public services such as health care, social housing, food banks and education whether they can legally be in the country or not.
