Thunder Bay: Ont ., and Syrian Family

thunder bay: Most have gone to cities and towns in southern Canada, but others have found a warm welcome amid colder weather in smaller, northern communities, according to CBC. In February, Nassim and Zouhour Al Kweyder, along with their four children, became the first Syrian family to arrive in Thunder Bay, Ont., after spending years as refugees in Lebanon. Since that day, more than 36,000 Syrians have settled into new lives across the country. The day they arrived, it was about -20 C. The first shock was how cold it was. I scared, Zouhour remembered with a laugh. Oh ya. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
