New refugee centre to open in July

A new refugee centre will open this summer. Refugees have been bunked at the Hyatt in Place Dupuis, but soon they’ll be given space, four to a room, at a onetime office building on Port‑Royal just east of St‑Laurent, in Ahuntsic. It looks like nowhere in particular, but the location is minutes from both Sauvé metro and Sauvé Exo station, with a couple of decent-sized parks nearby, so it has its points.
