Gretna Volunteers Open Doors For Asylum Seekers

A group of volunteers from Gretna has stepped up to help asylum seekers that are illegally crossing into Canada. A vacant Manitoba housing unit in Gretna will be used temporarily as a reception centre to house migrants after they are processed at the Canadian port of entry in Emerson. The vacant building will serve as a shelter for up to five days while more room is made for the migrants in Winnipeg, where they will wait for their refugee applications to be processed.
