Canadian Activities: Parents Texted and Arabic-Speaking Newcomers

canadian activities: I think the parents stayed awake more than the kids that day, scouting commissioner El Hajj said, according to Metro News. But overall they saw the benefits for the program, and the kids talked about it for days. The parents texted me at 2 o'clock. Since last June, the trilingual scouts group at Saints Peter and Paul Melkite Catholic Church has been helping Arabic-speaking newcomers try out Canadian activities, through a mix of sports, outings and spirituality. Most come from Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. Since September, the troop's 51 scouts and 20 volunteers meet each Saturday, running activities in English, French and Arabic. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
