Fredericton Inn and John Waite

hotel rooms: I decided to contact our MP office to see if there any way we could assist, and they’re going to send me a link and put a little bit of a bid in to see what we can do to help refugees in coming to our community, says John Waite, general manager of the Fredericton Inn, according to CTV. The tender was issued Monday and ends Thursday. The federal government has put out a tender notice for hotel rooms to accommodate the refugees in Fredericton and Oromocto, and the Fredericton Inn has already reached out to see what it can do. It asks for about 150 hotel rooms daily in Fredericton and Oromocto, to serve about 450 refugees each night. A total of 23,394 refugees have resettled in Canada, and they’re arriving in the Maritimes at a fast pace. Citizenship and Immigration Canada says officials have changed the initial housing process for the refugees once they arrive, and government is now procuring hotels because the search for permanent housing is taking longer than expected.
