Saskatchewan is preparing to welcome a third flight of approximately 200 Ukrainians seeking escape from the war-torn country.

Registration is now open for the third humanitarian flight headed to Saskatchewan. The flight is being arranged in partnership with the humanitarian organizations Solidaire, and Open Arms and is expected to arrive in Regina on October 25.

An MOU was signed between the Province, as well as Solidaire and Open Arms on August 12th. The MOU is a pledge by the three parties to partner on a maximum of five humanitarian flights into Saskatchewan by March 31, 2023.

Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison says, “The Government of Saskatchewan along with our municipalities, businesses and residents remain steadfast in our support for the people of Ukraine as they continue to suffer through this terrible ordeal.”

Canada’s Prime Minister described Russian attacks on Ukraine as reprehensible. Justin Trudeau also says they are committed to supporting Ukraine including with continued military assistance.

There are 19 people dead and more than a hundred injured after drone strikes and missile strikes in different parts of Ukraine including the capital Kiev and the country’s second largest city Kharkiv.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fellow G-7 leaders held a video call about Ukraine today.
