Why thousands of migrants from Quebec are being relocated to Niagara Falls.
The mayor of Niagara Falls is calling on the federal government to come up with a plan and provide resources for thousands of migrants staying in the city’s tourist district after entering Canada through the unofficial border crossing at Roxham Road in Quebec.
Niagara Falls has a population of just under 100,000. Diodati said the city is willing to do its part and is helping new families with everything from warm clothes to food and learning English, but the influx is causing concern. “I know Quebec has hit their maximum now and their saturation point. Ontario is stepping up and the federal government is bringing them here,” he said. “But we need to be apart of the conversation, to be part of the solution.”
Diodati added, like other cities, Niagara Falls also dealing with the affordability and housing crisis. On top of plan, he says resources are needed to make the migrants stay a success.The District School of Niagara tells CTV News Toronto it’s seeing a spike in enrolment since the summer.
