A church in Westboro is trying to use lawn signs to build community and combat negativity and racism being directed towards refugees in both Canada and the United States. First United Church printed 200 signs that read "No matter where you are from, we're glad you're our neighbour," in English, French and Arabic. Volunteers sold the lawn signs following a service at First United Church on Sunday. Similar campaigns elsewhereLisa Nafziger first brought the idea of the signs to the church after seeing similar campaigns in the United States and southern Ontario. With all the work First United Church has done to help sponsor refugees, she said the signs were a good fit, and a way to make a public statement without being political.
