A sponsorship committee is bringing a family of Syrian refugees to Flin Flon.

Members of the Northern Refugee Sponsorship Committee spoke to the Flin Flon and District Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday and announced that they are sponsoring a mother and her three children to move to the town.

The 43 year old mother and her 12, 14, and 19 year old sons will be housed at the local Cornerstone Church residence.

Committee member Judy Schmidt also noted that they have close to $19,000 available with which to sponsor the family, who had previously been living in Jordan.
