Saskatoon Residents: Saskatoon and People Something

saskatoon residents: I hope someone warned the Syrian refugees that the booms, bangs & other noise wasn't from weapons, she wrote in one tweet, according to CTV. Amazed that so many people do not know of connection between PTSD of war victims & soldiers, and fireworks which often triggers them, she wrote on Twitter after the backlash began. Saskatoon city councillor Pat Lorje posted the tweets on Saturday and Sunday after the city annual Potash Corp Fireworks Festival. On Twitter, Saskatoon residents called the tweets insensitive. People who have those conditions, whether they're refugees or not, they would be triggered with those kind of noises or anything that can remind people something similar to the trauma that they had, the group executive director, Ali Abukar, told CTV Saskatoon. The Saskatoon Open Door Society, which provides services to immigrants and refugees, says that while not all refugees suffer from PTSD, it possible that fireworks could reawaken awful memories in those that do.
