double number: Wesley is already scrambling to cope with 988 official arrivals to the city, which is more than double the number it had been led to believe the government sponsored program would be sending here, according to CBC. This new migration represents a sizeable extra caseload arriving outside of any official coordination, and Wesley executive director Daljit Garry says they are not factored into its current staffing or efforts. But with the new families already settled here, the agency which handles Hamilton government-assisted refugee cases, says it is doing what it can to track down the Toronto arrivals to see how it can help. In Toronto, the families were included in the caseload for COSTI Immigrant Services. Then it will meet with them to see what they need. But whose clients they are once they get to Hamilton is "a bit of a grey area," Garry said. "The supports COSTI provided are temporary in nature, so it not a black and white situation." We need to determine what the need is, so it early days.'- Daljit Garry, Wesley Urban Ministries But Garry said Wesley is working with COSTI to locate and contact the families.
