A church in Vaughan, Ont. along with a non-profit community organization serving the Black community are calling for immediate solutions to help the “alarming” number of African refugees arriving in Canada who are seeking refuge as well as housing and employment in their community.
On Monday at 10 a.m., Miracle Arena for All Nations and ANCHOR Canada will be holding an urgent press conference at the Miracle Arena Canada headquarters at 10800 Weston Rd., just north of Teston Road, in Vaughan to highlight the lack of infrastructure to meet the growing needs of new arrivals seeking asylum and the reality that the city's service agencies are not equipped to “meet this diverse need.
“As a church and community organization, we cannot stand idly by as guests to our city are not receiving adequate care and concern,” Miracle Arena for All Nations and ANCHOR Canada said in a news release. However, the church and several volunteer-run community organizations in the Region who support these efforts, cannot do this forever.
They include calling on elected officials take “immediate and concrete steps” to address their concerns and demonstrate their unwavering commitment to asylum seekers across the country by putting plan in place for refugees coming into Canada.
