Premier Scott Moe says Sask. is looking at providing immigration support after he met multiple Ukrainian families who fled their country.
Moe said in a teleconference on Thursday that Saskatchewan wants to possibly help the federal government with immigration as millions of Ukrainians continue to be displaced.
At a shelter in the German city of Kassel on Thursday, Moe visited with multiple families. The city converted an office building to house around 80 to 90 families. Among the stories he heard, Moe learned many families had to hunker down in their basements during explosions.Article content While he said Saskatchewan has immigration resources that he believes can be supportive, many refugees he met told him they want to be back home.Even though many would like to be home, he said there’s still much uncertainty over how long the war will go on and whether people will be able to return.“Whether they come for two weeks, two months, six months, or for the rest of their life in Saskatchewan, I think it’s incumbent on us to to support it,” he said.
