Refugees From Syria

circumstances: Most of these new refugees are families with children of various ages, according to The Chronicle Herald. All of them have fled war-torn Syria and have lived in difficult circumstances in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey or other places in the Middle East. Now, a scant few months later, our country is beginning to welcome 25,000 refugees from Syria. Many have lost family members and have lived in overcrowded refugee camps. Their new life in Canada will offer these children and families both opportunities and challenges, as it will their sponsors and the Canadian people, including government at all levels. The children in these families will have had their education interrupted, and most will likely have only limited familiarity with either of Canada two official languages. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
