Bridgewater is using the Memorial Arena to store donations for Syrian refugees.
At least two families are coming to the area.
The Bridgewater & Area and St. Joseph’s Syrian Refugee Committees are both collecting donations.
Mayor David Walker says the arena is a useful space to keep donations.
“It’s a vacant building right now and having it used for something like this makes a lot of sense for the refugee initiative and fills a need that we’re able to do.”
Hours of operation at the arena have yet to be determined.
However, people can drop off or mail donations to two locations, for now.
They are:
Bridgewater & Area Syrian Refugee Sponsorship Committee (cheques made out to BASRSC)
Box 257
450 Lahave St.
Bridgewater, N.S.
B4V 4A3
OR
St. Joseph’s Syrian Refugee Sponsorship Committee (Cheques made out to St. Joseph’s Church Refugee Fund)
123 Pleasant St.
Bridgewater, N.S.
B4V 1N3
