Cedar Deli and Syrian Refugees

industrial kitchen: My dad came here as an immigrant from a war-torn country as well and Calgary has given us everything we have here, he said, according to Metro News. We want to give back, we want to help build them up as they build their new futures. Omar, owner of Cedar Deli, has recently opened his industrial kitchen up to two Syrian refugees who have started their own businesses—and on top of that, he hired one of them to work for him, too. Syrian Cuisine Made With Love, a catering company run by newcomer Rita Khanchet will now be cooked out of Cedar Deli, as well as the traditional Arabic pastries made by newcomer Xoshnav Hasaf, who will also be using his talents as a baker for the deli. Hasaf, who worked as a professional pastry chef back home in Syria said he grateful for the opportunities Omar has given him. When you have someone who talented, knows what he doing and just needs an opportunity, why not open the door for them and see if they can build off that, said Omar. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
