About this service
Every year more than 20,000 people come to Canada as refugees, people for whom life in their home country is no longer safe. Many arrive and ask for asylum, others are brought here by the Canadian government for resettlement, and roughly 4,000 of them are sponsored by Canadian citizens. Many of those private sponsorships are undertaken by churches and civic groups. In 2006, retired teachers David and Margaret Hall, both 72, joined forces with retired archival assistant Wilma MacDonald, 72, and Robyn Osgood, 46, partner in Blueprint Public Relations, and many others in Kitchissippi United Church and the Ottawa International Y Service Club to sponsor a Sudanese refugee family.
