Newcomers to Canada are getting some financial assistance from the Goderich Lions Club.
Club officials have launched the “Huron Area Newcomer Fund,” meant to support immigrants and refugees settling in the region within their first 18 months of living in Canada.
Up to $1,500 towards one family is available if a newcomer applies for funding
“The intent is to meet demonstrated needs caused by unforeseen or extraordinary costs which are beyond the capacity of supportive agencies or individuals to provide.”
According to a news release from the Goderich Lions Club, more than 40 people from Ukraine have arrived in Huron County since April, most of them billeting with host families.
