OTTAWA – “To the Ukrainians who are defending the values we hold dear, we stand with you—not only in our words, but also in our actions. Canada will offer safe haven to your families while you fight on the front lines of a war to defend your freedom to the benefit of the entire world”: with these words, Sean Fraser (in the pic, from his Twitter profile), Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced today the launch of the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET). The CUAET is a special, accelerated temporary residence pathway for Ukrainians seeking safe haven in Canada while the war in their home country continues.

With COVID-19 vaccination progressing apace in the region, Peel Public Health launched on Thursday (June 24) the “Real Peel, Real Voices” campaign that shares authentic and relatable stories from diverse Peel residents and local community leaders as vaccination ambassadors.
