I had some family members arrive from the Lviv Ukraine last week, a family of 5 no surprise they are going to Sask. which is heavily Ukrainian and where my family originally settled when they came here. It was a bit of an ordeal to get everything in place paperwork wise for my family members that took it on props to them.

They had a program where free flights were available however they were very difficult to get so my extended family put money together to get them here. They have found a house for them in a little town about an hour east of Regina. They will have some costs covered for the first three months by the Ukrainian Crisis Committee, I believe they have some jobs leads for the dad.

My aunt met them at the airport they speak very little english, the kids are 9, 14 and 17 and have had their life obviously disrupted, I remember moving how hard it was moving to another province at 14 I couldn't imagine how bad it would be going to another Country with nothing and not speaking the language.

Hopefully they can pickup english quickly and build a life here.
