Matt Berninger and Berninger Reid

Hamilton: It that simple, according to NOW Magazine. The community of Hamilton is doing more to help them than most nations, including my own. There are a lot of people in need of a lot of help, says Matt Berninger, frontman for The National. Berninger, originally from Cincinnati and now based in L.A., speaks a hard truth: the United States has only accepted 2,600 refugees, while Hamilton alone has taken in 1,200. Berninger and Reid saw the challenges faced by Syrian refugees first-hand when travelling from France to Britain. There are only nine cities in Canada carrying the responsibility of helping these people get into the fold of Canadian life, says the National manager Brandon Reid. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
