An organization is hoping to help immigrants to Canada settle in Huron and Perth Counties.
The Multicultural Association of Perth-Huron has set up a main office in Stratford and a satellite office in Goderich (at the Bedford Hotel).
There has been a number of immigrants leaving rural areas for larger urban centres since the start of the pandemic.
Director Geza Wordofa says it is because most of them who remain here are unable to get into groups to meet.
Wordofa says he has spoken with Huron Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson and MP Ben Lobb on the matter.
