Some Canadian cities building temporary housing facilities to accommodate refugees.

Canada had nearly 250,000 refugee claims in the queue as of Sept. 30, 2024 .

The city of Ottawa is working to establish what’s known as a sprung structure that serves as both a temporary shelter and a centre for settlement services.

The Peel region in the Greater Toronto Area opened a similar facility earlier this month to address the same issues.

The Mississauga centre is based in a former four -storey office park, which the Peel region signed a 10-year -lease on earlier this year to act as a refugee reception centre.

The Ottawa Hospital currently uses a sprung structure to accommodate overflow with their emergency response centre.
