The Government of Saskatchewan has announced the intent to work with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Saskatchewan in assisting displaced Ukrainian families and helping them settle in the province. 

Dedicated community coordinators will provide assistance and information to individuals and families from Ukraine. These coordinators will help connect people with resources, including language training, settlement services and employment services. 

"The Government of Saskatchewan stands with those around the world condemning the unprovoked attack of Ukraine by Russia, and we have informed the federal government of our readiness to receive an unlimited number of displaced families fleeing Ukraine," Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "This partnership, which is over and above other supports that we are already offering, will provide the displaced Ukrainian families who choose to come to our province access to helpful settlement resources they need to rebuild their lives here in Saskatchewan." 

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Saskatchewan will administer the project, working with the existing settlement, employment, and language service providers across the province.    

Those in need of assistance or anyone wanting to offer some assistance, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Saskatchewan can be contacted at 1-888-652-5850 or info@ucc.sk.ca. 

As of March 8, the number of refugees fleeing Ukraine has reached 2 million.
