Jim Estill

Jim Estill, CEO of Danby Appliance, provided refuge to families fleeing from the civil war in Syria. He spent CAD1.5 million of his own money to relocate 50 families to his home city of Guelph, Ontario, under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program, which allows private citizens to settle refugees in Canada if they commit to covering the expenses of the new arrivals for the first year.
