The same day Mayor Fischer was speaking about Beaded Treasures, the Elder Program was participating in a field trip to KRM to celebrate World Refugee Day in conjunction with the Family Center (a program that provides English classes to many refugee women while also providing daycare for their young children). After Mayor Fischer concluded his time with the Beaded Treasures Project, he visited the Elder Program and Family Center participants as they worked on art projects and peace games. He shared a few words of encouragement with the elders and women and children of the Family Center and even stopped to meet several of them individually:
Chandra and Tara are honoured to meet Mayor Fischer!
Mayor Fischer speaks with Milagros and Lazaro about their upcoming citizenship examination. He wished them well and assured them he would try to come to their oath ceremony!
