There has been an extraordinary act of kindness on the part of a wealthy Guelph businessman who will spend at least $1.5 million of his own money to sponsor 50 Syrian families and re-settle them in the Guelph area. He is Jim Estill, owner of Danby, a manufacture of kitchen appliances.  Estill is required under the private refugee sponsorship program to commit to meet all of a newcomer’s needs for the first few months of their time in Canada. Amazing generosity. CBC
