Pasqua Amati
The East Toronto Syrian Refguee Hub was busy at mid-afternoon today with workers and residents of the area delivering many types of goods for use by Syrian refugee families in the area. Realtor Pasqua Amati, an important organizer, was present with her son, choosing things for refugees which she has sponsored. Amati told of how these newcomers were to attend a women’s hockey game today (Saturday, January 23, 2016). Ms. Amati found the space in which the Hub will reside for three months and arranged for Re/Max Hallmark Realty and the Danforth East Community Association’s Pop Up Shop Program to rent it for $6,000 for that period. The video below catches the flavour of the activity Saturday. Note the remarkable homemade cake. The Hub is located at 1803 Danforth in the short block between Bastedo and Roseheath Aves.
