Kelly Ernst, with the centre, says there has been a flood of Ukrainians trying to take advantage of a federal program allowing them to temporarily resettle in Canada. The program has been extended until July and Ernst says he expects people will continue to flee the war-torn country until then.Ernst says many of the refugees may have landed in other parts of the country, but rents in Calgary are lower than larger centres like Vancouver and Toronto.He says some people have been sleeping at the airport and in at least one case were at a local homeless shelter.
