A Fundraising Dinner for Syrian Refugees to Canada!

Canadians had a change of government in the October 2015 federal election

Canada held a federal election last October and Canadians decided it was time to have a change of government. The Liberal Party won a landslide majority and Justin Trudeau became our new prime minster.

Canada is welcoming 25,000 Syrian refugees onto its soil

One of the very first policy which the new government is implementing is to welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada.

Some of the 25,000 Syrian refugees have landed in Canada

The government's original goal was to admit 25,000 refugees to the country by the end of December 31, 2015. However, this number has been revised due to a number of logistic reasons.


Admitting and resettling this large number of refugees into a country is not a simply task. It requires a huge amount of financial and human resources.

Many churches & charitable organizations are sponsoring refugees privately 

Canadians from towns and cities across the country are doing their part, volunteering their time to do whatever they can to help.

Numerous citizens, churches and charitable organizations are sponsoring many of these refugees privately.


Though only a small city about a hundred kms west of Toronto, Kitchener, Ontario, is doing its part to help the refugees.

This Saturday, January 31, we will attend a special event called A Night for Syria. It is  a fundraiser dinner in support of Syrian Refugees. It will be an evening of halal food, dance, music, cultural traditions and a silent auction. The event will be held at The Family Centre located on 65 Hanson Ave, Kitchener, Ontario.

Many events are planned to raise funds to sponsor Syrian families 

The net proceeds of this evening's event will help bring a Syrian family to Canada.

Doors will open at 6:00, dinner at 6:30  Tickets are $40 a person and can be purchased by Calling Mandy at 519-744-7761, online at najdanowcanada.yapsody.com, or by visiting the Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre (102 King St W, Kitchener, (519) 745-2531)

We are excited and looking forward to this great event! We will be driving from Toronto on Saturday morning and taking part in this worthy cause!
