The County of Huron is looking for volunteers to assist families arriving to Canada from Ukraine.
Officials say volunteers are being recruited to assist newcomers with housing, transportation, and conversational English-language practice.
The Huron County Immigration Partnership is working with Ukrainian Diaspora Support Canada to match Ukrainian families who are arriving with volunteers.
People interested in volunteering can fill out a form at local Huron County Library branches or online here.
As well, newcomer settlement advisors from the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario are ready to assist newcomer families in their first days of settling in Canada.
Both the Huron County Immigration Partnership and the settlement services of the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario are funded by Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada.
Additional in-kind support is being offered by The Town of Goderich to assist with volunteer coordination.
