Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia and Gerry Mills

Toronto Plaza Hotel: Gerry Mills, director of operations at the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, said Halifax has not, in fact, asked for a pause and is expecting the arrival of 46 government-sponsored refugees on Thursday, with an additional 50 or 60 on the weekend, according to Globe and Mail. We’re good right now; we are moving people through, Ms. At most, new arrivals in these situations are being delayed up to five days. Mills said. At the Toronto Plaza Hotel, where children played in the lobby on Wednesday and an already fraying Welcome to Canada sign hung by the pool, some of the refugees have been in temporary lodging for weeks. But the other three cities, which are among the 36 designated across Canada to receive refugees, are having problems. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
