Fatuma Omar showed up for an appointment at Welcome Place in downtown Winnipeg on Wednesday morning only to find its employees locked out. They didn t tell me, said the 27-year-old Somali woman, who scheduled a day off work to access refugee settlement services at the Bannatyne Avenue building.
After exiting the facility, Omar said people inside were willing to help but didn t speak her language. They told her she could also go to the Immigrant Centre a few blocks away, another non-profit offering services to newcomers.
