Toronto police officers have been helping strangers move into their homes Toronto TorontoPolice
Add in the anxiety and uncertainty of relocating to a new country as a refugee, and the stress of moving can be a truly traumatic experience. Luckily, newcomers to Toronto are finding help from an unlikely source in the local police service, part of a project assisting new Canadians for almost two years.
Officers visited the family on Sunday, April 23, at their new home in the Thorncliffe Park area, a hub for newcomers and refugees. "So far, we have personally visited and assisted hundreds of homes, and we are in touch with over 200 families who we have assisted so far through our project," says Popalzai.
Popalzai himself understands the importance of community resources for newcomers, as he and his family arrived in Toronto as refugees after fleeing the Taliban in Afghanistan in the summer of 2001.
