Hospitality House Refugee Ministry took the federal government to court when [the government] ended coverage for dental, prescription drug and vision care for privately sponsored refugees after June 30. That left the sponsors, mainly church groups, responsible for covering costs it argues the government promised and was under contract to provide. The refugee ministry hopes the law is on its side. For now, it has some musicians drumming up support for its work. Dr. Jonathan Wong and fellow music director Chuck Kroeker at St. Mary’s Road United Church created a music CD that’s raised more than $4,000 for Hospitality House.
