Saint John: Mohammd Younes and Syrian Families

saint john: At only 19-years-old, Mohammd Younes fled Syria on his own before moving to Canada, according to CTV. When I first came, I didn't know English, says Younes. Thousands of refugees have settled in the Maritimes in the last 18 months, but many of the newcomers still face the major hurdle of being reunited with their families. When I go out and buy something, it's still hard for me. The city welcomed 50 Syrian families in early 2016. Younes fixes bicycles at the Crescent Valley Resource Centre in Saint John.
