A new refuge for unaccompanied minor asylum seekers in Toronto

Guest: Toronto Star Senior Immigration Reporter Nicholas Keung 

Every year, unaccompanied minors seek refuge in Canada, from war, violence and worse. But when they get here, they face a new struggle; trying to find safety, shelter and support. With no dedicated housing or settlement services, many end up in a possibly unsafe adult shelter system, emergency hotels, or even on the streets. Now Toronto is opening its first ever shelter designed specifically for young asylum seekers who arrive alone.
