Syrian Refugees: Today and Justin Trudeau

syrian refugees: Thanksgiving offers the opportunity to express gratitude for all that enriches our lives, according to Toronto Star. It is also a time to reach out to those less fortunate — here in Canada and around the world — and lend a helping hand. By Prime Minister Office Mon., Oct. 10, 2016 OTTAWA—The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on Thanksgiving: Today, Canadians will gather with family and loved ones to share a meal and give thanks for the countless blessings we enjoy. Over the past year, Canadians have welcomed more than 30,000 Syrian refugees who fled their homes to seek a safer and better future. Today, we also give thanks for our men and women in uniform. As these and other newcomers celebrate their first Thanksgiving in Canada, let us never forget that helping those in need is at the heart of what makes us Canadian. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
