The country will take in 25,000 refugees from now until the end of February.<\/p>\n<p>Last Thursday, the first 163 of the refugees arrived at Toronto\u2019s Pearson Airport. The first two families\u00a0were greeted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Kathleen Wynn, the premier of Ontario, who welcomed them and gave\u00a0them warm winter coats.<\/p>\n<p>The Syrians had to leave their country because of a civil war there that makes it very dangerous. The war has been waging since 2011; it is between government forces and people opposed to the Syrian government.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian people have embraced the refugees. The government is paying many of the refugees\u2019 costs, but many private groups have also\u00a0pooled together money to pay for families to come to Canada. That\u2019s known as \u201csponsorship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sponsorship groups haven\u2019t just donated money. They have also worked\u00a0to figure out where the new families will live, get them appropriate winter clothing, help them learn English or French, and get all of the necessary legal documents they will need in their new life.<\/p>\n<p>Many volunteers and charitable organizations as well as donors who have given money have also come together to support the new Canadian residents.<\/p>\n<p>Greeting\u00a0one new family, Prime Minister Trudeau said, \u201cYou are home. Welcome home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Thursday, Trudeau\u00a0said that, \u201cwe define \u2018a Canadian\u2019 not by a skin colour or a language or a religion or a background, but by a shared set of values, aspirations, hopes and dreams\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More refugees from Syria will be entering Canada throughout this month and into the new year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is an article from last year that tells of the Canada&#8217;s acceptance of Syrian refugees.
