Operation Afghan Safety
When the Taliban assumed power in Afghanistan last year,
West Kootenay Friends of Refugees (WKFOR) decided to
sponsor an Afghan-Hazara family. The Canadian government
set up a program called Operation Afghan Safety, which was
designed to bring 40,000 people to Canada. Afghans who
had worked for the Canadian government were given highest
priority. Next were people who were considered at high risk
because of their human rights activities.
In April 2022, an organization based in Toronto called Journalists
for Human Rights contacted WKFOR to ask if they
would take a family they knew of. The group of volunteers
based in Rossland readily agreed.
In December 2021, the father of the family was arrested
and tortured. He was a journalist and had reported on human
rights abuses by the Taliban. His wife was a university lecturer
and has her Master’s degree in women’s issues. She is also an
activist at risk. They have two young daughters. The father
was eventually released and the family escaped to Islamabad,

Pakistan, where they contacted JHR for help. They have waited
in Pakistan without status, in the hope of a new start elsewhere.
JHR was very helpful in preparing their applications to Canada.
They have been accepted as refugees, passed immigration
interviews and medicals, and as of this week they are “travel
ready”. The final step is for the International Office for Migration
to arrange flights. In WKFOR’s experience, this means
that the family is likely to arrive at the Castlegar airport within
weeks. WKFOR will be raising funds to support this family
for a year. On October 2 at 2 pm, there will be a concert at
the United Church in Trail with admission by donation. Tax
receipts will be issued and all funds go directly to the family’s
costs of living. Carolyn Cameron, Sarah Currie, Leslie Mahr
and Hendrik Mendes have volunteered their substantial musical
talent in support of WKFOR’s efforts.
WKFOR is also in search of accommodation for the family,
and any leads would be appreciated. Please contact them at

Dr. Richard WJ McIntyre
Life began on the
farm in Stenen,
Saskatchewan on
January 4, 1930.
He felt privileged
to provide medical
care in many
communities for
6 decades across
2 countries, a gift
he never took for
granted. Doc was
delighted to call
Kaslo home for
his final chapter.
Richard leaves a
legacy of those
he cared for both professionally and socially: His
wife Zoe, all his treasured extended family including
daughters: Heather and Moira, (grandchildren Kyle
and Lyndsay), his golf buddies, and recreational
flying community.
Richard in preparation of his final plan signs off
with dignity and respect.
“Time well spent, I am extremely grateful for
my gift of life.” - Dr. Richard McIntyre
