Julie Dubber: Men Clothing and Canadian-Born Workers

julie dubber: Sewing is a lost art in Canada, so it can be difficult finding Canadian-born workers with the right skills, says Julie Dubber, finance and human-resources manager, according to Globe and Mail. She hired a Syrian wife and husband in January, and the company now has about 20 workers who are Syrian refugees. In Hamilton, Coppley Ltd., a maker of custom-tailored, high-end men clothing that started in 1883, is one. These folks are amazing. I was speaking to a lady the other day and she actually was shot when she was in Syria. They are so thrilled to have the things that we take so much for granted their safety.
