Kim Thúy says of coming to Canada as a sponsored refugee, "We didn't arrive here as immigrants. We arrived here as adopted children or something, you know. So it's as if a family was waiting for us to arrive. So I fell in love from that first moment!" How important is it that Canadian citizens took active steps to bring Vietnamese refugees to Canada, that it wasn't simply an act of the government?

It was a massive humanitarian act.

Explanation:

With South Vietnam being captured by Communist North Vietnam in 1975, the lives of the people worsened within a short period of time. By 1978, millions of Vietnamese tried to flee Communist Vietnam with great risk and effort.

The trauma and hardships that these people faced in this journey were horrifying and painful. Canadian citizens who took active steps to bring Vietnamese refugees to Canada provided huge relief to many refugees. It was a massive humanitarian act which wasn't simply an act of the government but an action taken up the people.

Many Canadians voluntarily provided assistance to Vietnamese refugees and by 1985 about 110,000 Vietnamese refugees were resettled in Canada.
