First Syrian refugee family settling nicely in Kamloops with new twins
KAMLOOPS — When the Al Mohammad family arrived at Fulton Field in December 2015, the first Syrian refugee family in Kamloops, they were overwhelmed to be in Canada after fleeing their war-torn home.
They also faced a lot of uncertainty.
But more than 16 months later, they’re settled into an apartment on the North Shore with a large Canadian flag hanging from their living room.
“Canada is one of the best countries that provides them a home and medical services,” said translator Ali Alsaeed, speaking through mother Reem Al Mohammad.
