Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 25, 1986 Refugee Committee formed -- The Schreiber Refugee Committee has held two meetings recently to ex- plore the possibility of sponsoring one or more refugees, according to Committee member Jack Stokes. The first meeting, which was a public session, was held primarily to listen to a talk given by Lloyd Jones, the Canadian Co- ordinator for World Vi- sion. He is based in Thunder Bay, Stokes said. "Jones also attended ser- vices at the Catholic, Angl- ican, and United Churches where he spoke of the mill- ions of refugees who were in danger of persecution as a result of oppressive reg- imes," Stokes added. The Committee and many Schreiber residents, Stokes noted, feel that more needs to be done to give refugees a chance at hope and life. ALLIED The Careful Movers Mary Jo Mageau 825-9474 On the Committee are Chairman Bill Campbell, Vice Chairperson Marg Connelly, Secretary Arthur Le Blanc, Treasurer Verna Le Blanc, Assistant Sec- retary Regina Bueno, and Stokes as Second Vice Chairman. '*The United Nations de- fines a refugee (as) a per- son outside his native coun- try who is unable or unwill- ing to rely on the protection of his country because of persecution or a_ well- founded fear of persecution on account of race, relig- ion, nationality, or mem- bership in a_ particular social group or political opinion," Stokes said. He explained that the Committee is now preoc- cupied with entering into an arrangement with a group which has a sponsor- ship agreement with the Ministry of State for Imm- igration. '*Anyone wishing to ass- ist in fund-raising, co- ordination, housing, orient- ation, education, health, or employment for this wor- thy cause are asked to con- tact any of the Committee members,"' he pointed out. Stokes said the Committ- ee is convinced their goal of sponsoring at least one refugee is a worthwhile thing to do. '*That's our aim, our ob- jective,' he said, adding that the group still has a lot of groundwork to do, though they are committed to the task.
