Winter Coats: Syrian Refugees and Unifor Members

winter coats: Volunteers, including many Unifor members, offered advice on everything from finding a job to using public transit, according to Huffington Post Canada. It was a great initiative of which all Canadians are rightfully proud. Bewildered after a long flight, they were handed new winter coats as they arrived at the airport, and across the country Canadians helped them find places to live and to furnish their new homes. The need was there, and we answered the call.
