A fourth flight of about 200 people from war-torn Ukraine is arriving in Saskatchewan today. It was arranged in partnership with the humanitarian organizations Solidaire and Open Arms.
This is the first flight to land in Saskatoon directly from Warsaw.
The provincial government expects it to arrive at 3:50 this afternoon.
Back in August, the Premier joined representatives from Solidaire and Open Arms to sign a memorandum of understanding to partner on five flights into Saskatchewan by the end of March next year. The passengers have access to temporary accommodations and a suite of services, support and information related to living in Saskatchewan.
The government says that brings the provincial total of Ukrainian refugees to approximately 3,000.
