Canada Border Services and Instructed City Managers

municipal services: Council approved the designation overwhelmingly — 37 to 3 — and instructed city managers to train front-line staff not to turn people who feared deportation or detention over to Canada Border Services, according to Toronto Star. It was an audacious move. Under the new policy, undocumented immigrants had the same right to municipal services such as public health, parks and recreation programs, social assistance, community housing, women shelters and libraries as any other resident. It defied the federal government drive to deport bogus refugees, deny asylum seekers access to medical care and crack down on illegal workers. Hamilton became a sanctuary city last year. But other cities followed Toronto example. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
