Since 2016, Canada has welcomed more than 25,000 Syrians and benefited from the contribution of their culture. The Nai Children's Choir is one of many organizations that has helped newcomers feel welcome here by sharing their culture and voices.

In the days after new Syrian arrivals arrive in Toronto, they are often waiting in hotels, awaiting processing. Various agencies offer resettlement, landing and outreach services. CultureLink is one such agency that rose to the challenge by providing activities to newcomer children who were living without school and spending long days in hotels during the cold Canadian winter.
