At our last MHRC meeting on December 8 we discussed how we as a committee could contribute towards the Syrian refugee resettlement in Canada. Many members in attendance went away with a task to complete, the results of which will be shared with the rest of the committee on January 6th. Some of these tasks include
1. Researching the types of supplies, clothing and other donations that can be made;
2. Whom to make these donations to;
3. The costs of resettling a refugee family in Canada; and
4. The economical benefits contributed by refugees resettled in the past.
The Mainland Human Rights Committee is holding a conference call January 6 is to discuss the results of the research conducted, how to mobilize our members, and to develop an action plan for our committee.
