Ontario set to welcome about 40,000 Ukrainians fleeing the war – here’s how to help locally

The province is expecting about 40-thousand Ukrainians displaced by the Russian Invasion to arrive in Ontario under a new emergency travel authorization.

Premier Doug Ford told reporters Wednesday that the newcomers will receive access to provincial health coverage, emergency housing and trauma-informed counselling.

Those supports will come through a $449,000 investment in Canadian-Ukrainian community organizations.

Groups in communities across the province are also stepping up to help bring them here.
