The spokesman confirmed the plans after the government issued a tender notice on Thursday seeking companies to build "temporary winterized lodgings for groups of 500 to 3,000 people by early December 2015 at sites to be confirmed." ---- The notice from Public Works Canada said the housing and services may be required for up to three months and that the sites must be self-contained and self-sustaining, including on-site energy, water, sewage and waste management.
One U.S. official said his understanding was that once the refugees arrived in Canada, authorities would detain them in some kind of "camp" and not release them until after a thorough vetting.
Another U.S. security official said that as far as he knew, Canada and the United States were still using identical vetting procedures for Syrian refugees, which normally take 18 to 24 months.
Canada has said most of the security vetting for the refugees will be done before the refugees arrive. But to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Jan 1. deadline, some screening will have to be done after their arrival in Canada. ---- At least six Canadian companies expressed interest in the tender notice. One of them, Sockeye Operations, said it could set up a temporary camp for hundreds of people within days, provided the government has sufficient space available.
Mike Naylor, vice president of operations at Sockeye, which builds temporary camps for oil-field workers in Alberta, said he did not expect the camps would hold thousands in a single location.
"To set up 3,000 beds in a week in one location would be pretty chaotic," Naylor told Reuters. "I'd be surprised if they went to camps that big in one location, but they might."

No-Go Zones coming to Canada...
Why , they’ll head to the US the first chance they get ,it’s too cold in Canada
Above the Arctic Circle, if they’re smart.
I hear Flin Flon, Manitoba has a lot of room for these camps.
we had to fry our breath to find out what we were saying
Baffin Island should do it.
I believe that’s been tried already - the camps are full of people called palestinians - generations of them.
You beat me to it. What fools!
That’s what we should do - build camps for Instead of bringing the Syrian “refugees” to the USA.
And the camps should be in Syria.
Then the men can go back out and fight ISIS or go to the new prison camp right next door.
Why winterized?
and they want to kill Americans. the new liberal guy is working out really well.
secure the borders. both sides.
How about building the camps IN SYRIA!!
They should be treated as such!
Are they going to stay in Canada, or are they going to get to go home after the war?
Yes yes,,,, to concentrate them in one location./
It would be vastly cheaper both financially and in terms of future security and social costs/problems to simply hand each a one-way ticket to Damascus International with an in-flight meal and movie.
Harper did a great job up there & the thanks he got was to be run out of office by some leftist child....
