Pearson International Airport and Overnight Bag

Royal Jordanian Airlines: Another youngster — dressed in a Superman hoodie — carried an overnight bag in one hand and a Maple Leaf tote bag in another as he waited for his mom to get off the bus, according to Toronto Star. Shivering, he cast his eyes down, apparently overwhelmed by the the cold, damp weather and the reporters who were barking questions at them. Some smiled joyfully as they were quickly ushered off a bus that transported them from Pearson International Airport to a nearby hotel, where they would spend the night before meeting their sponsors on Wednesday morning. Other refugees appeared anxious as they carried their belongings in big garbage bags. Peel Paramedics tweeted a photograph of the Royal Jordanian Airlines plane arriving at the gate on Tuesday afternoon, with the message: Welcome to Canada. 214 new Canadians on board. A young mother cuddled her child in her arms as she got off the bus that displayed a sign in its window: Operation Syrian Refugees. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
