Thursday Night: Syrian and Airport

thursday night: Syrian refugees in Calgary face end of benefits, tough job market You think that we are done, the whole hype is over, and look at this, one year later we still have this beautiful welcome happening in the airport, said Saima Jamal, co-founder of the Syrian Refugees Support Group, according to CBC. Who would have thought we could still sustain that much joy and enthusiasm The large, welcoming crowd at the airport may be overwhelming for the newcomers, but one of the Syrian women told CBC News it's the first time she's ever felt secure in her life. A committee greeted several Syrian families at the Calgary International Airport on Thursday night, waving Canadian flags, holding welcoming signs in Arabic and English, cheering and applauding. I love Canada, she said. We are very happy. Thank you Canadian people very much. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
