The Union des municipalités du Québec (UMQ) has declared that municipalities in Quebec are ready to mobilize and welcome Ukrainian refugees into the province.
UMQ President Daniel Côté stated in a press release the importance of supporting Ukrainians fleeing an armed conflict raging in their country. He said the conflict in Europe has become the test of a lifetime for Ukrainians, adding Quebec will be there to provide much-needed aid.
“Quebec is a welcoming society, open to the world. Our communities are strong and well-equipped to quickly accompany refugees, particularly so that they have access to psychological support, find a roof over their heads and enter the job market,” he said.
