Available* 905-877-1237 www.turningwrenchautomotive.com COMMUNITY GFORCe to host public meeting on sponsoring a refugee family By Janet Duval GFORCe With several groups in this area already preparing to bring Syrian refugees here, yet another group is hoping to do the same. The community is invited to join them at a planning meeting next Wednesday, April 20 at Knox Presbyterian Church, 116 Main St. S. in Georgetown beginning at 7:30 p.m. Volunteers from Holy Cross Church, Norval United Church and St. Alban's Anglican Church in Glen Williams will be seeking guidance from the leaders of GFORCe (Georgetown Friends of Refugees Committee) on how to sponsor a family. With some of the required funding already secured, these churches hope interested community members will step forward to help them. "Our group had everything together in a very short time," said GFORCe chair Dennis McLay, who will facilitate the meeting with his co-chair Susan Tupling. "We formed in early January, and within six weeks we had the funding, the volunteers, a warehouse full of furniture and household goods, and our application was accepted." GFORCe team members say they will gladly advise volunteers in the new group, once it forms. Volunteers might help with procuring household goods, arranging health care, language training, employment, and transportation. While Syrian refugees have caught the headlines for months now, the government has capped the flow it will accept from that country. After it reached its promised quota of 25,000 Syrian refugees, it promised to admit another 10,000 whose applications were already submitted by groups across Canada, including GFORCe. But new applicants for Syrian refugees will wait well beyond a year. Next week, the new group may find it more expedient to think about applying for a refugee family from another wartorn country, some of whom have been waiting as much as five years for a sponsor. The family that GFORCe is sponsoring needs one more interview with consular officials in Beirut before it can leave for Canada. With rental housing already prepared, the GFORce group hopes that will happen this spring. Other local groups that are sponsoring Syrians include Halton Hills Coalition for Refugees and St. Alban's Anglican Church in Acton.
