Resettlement Environment: Refugees and Reception House

resettlement environment: There were days when we would go to the airport and there was 30, 40 even upwards of 60 or 70 refugees arriving in a given day, according to Globe and Mail. In the normal resettlement environment, we provide temporary accommodation for up to two weeks. I think once they started to arrive, obviously, a lot of our plans had to evolve very, very quickly. Catholic Social Services has an apartment complex that we own and operate – we call it our reception house – that is specifically to house newly arrived refugees. We cut a deal with a hotel here in town that agreed to help us take the additional refugees coming in. We quickly overwhelmed that. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
