A Romanian couple who died with their Canadian\u002Dborn children as they fled a deportation order were remembered at a memorial Thursday.
Francine Charpentier, a nurse practitioner at the centre who provided primary health care to the family, said the event was an opportunity for those who knew the Iordaches to share their grief.
He said the couple were among many Romanians who arrived in the country in December 2017 after Canada waived most visa requirements. Florin Iordache and his wife filed for asylum the next year on the grounds that they faced discrimination back home. The president of the Toronto Roma Community Centre, Michael T. Butch, said the deaths were devastating, especially because they took place only a few days before International Roma Day on April 8.
