The PVNC posted an emotional video on its Facebook page of a Syrian family arriving in Peterborough Thursday (October 6th).
The family was welcomed by family and PVNC staff at Pearson International Airport and taken to Casa Maria Refugee Homes housing in Peterborough.
“It’s like this was all a bad dream and we’re just waking up now," says Syrian father Ammar Aidak as he walked through his new home in Peterborough's East City with his family.
PVNC students and staff have privately sponsored a family of nine in partnership with Casa Maria. Ammar and his children are the first members of the family to arrive.
