Ontario announces supports for Ukrainian refugees who come to the province
Elementary and secondary school-aged children will be able to attend publicly funded schools for free.
The province is funding counselling and other culturally responsive supports through a $449,000 investment in Canadian-Ukrainian community organizations, and is announcing a $1.9-million scholarship for post-secondary students arriving on an emergency basis. The province said it is also providing an increase of $900,000 over three years to the Canadian Ukrainian Immigrant Aid Society to help with settlement services.
Ford said he is hearing that Ontario can expect about 40,000 Ukrainians to arrive under a new emergency travel authorization, but adds that many people with family in the province have already arrived and are staying with relatives.© 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
