2. A Winter Enjoyment Guide welcomes newcomers

In Winnipeg, artwork by local kids were featured in a Winter Enjoyment Guide. Its purpose? To give Syrian refugees a warm welcome and inform them on how best to experience Winnipeg winters. Created by Art City, a not-for-profit community art centre, the guide included indoor and outdoor activities, information on how to build a snowman, snow safety tips and sledding etiquette. While contributing drawings to the guide, participants learned more about the Syrian refugee crisis. Newcomer agencies across Winnipeg received the guides along with art supply care packages.
