In 2015, the Dundas Coalition for Refugee was formed to assist a family in need during the continuing Syrian civil war. The Committee were connected with Adel and Dania, and their 3 children, and in February 2018, they arrived in Canada.
The family has been grateful for the support and welcome they have received in Canada. They are happy, safe, and enjoying their newfound quality of life in Winchester. They are working hard at their English language training, and are already offering to give back their community by volunteering for various local groups and causes.
We are hosting this dinner as a formal "Welcome to Canada" event. Wear your red and white, and meet these wonderful new community residents!
