Dear Editor,

Regarding Ms. Cole's June 12, 2022 Column: Adopted Ukrainain Family Heading West.

In my opinion, the City of Barrie did not sufficiently support the Tyrtyshna family who had only been living in Barrie for less than 2 months.

I am aware of many government grants that are available to newcomers. Why did Barrie and the other levels of government not support the Tyrtyshna family during their short stay in Ontario?

Doug Dixon
