When the invasion of Ukraine started, Carol Ailles wanted to do something to help the women and children and families who were affected. And that turned into the Atlantic Canada Hosts for Ukrainians group on Facebook. Thousands of people from across the region are going there to find resources and support and to offer space in their own homes to house refugees. Ailles says in spite of the Canadian Government saying it wants to help, there doesn't appear to be any leadership on this issue. And these volunteers are committed to doing all they can to support the women and children and their families, many of whom are also joining the Facebook group. And ultimately, they would like to be able to hire a charter plane and bring up to 300 refugees from Europe to Atlantic Canada.
