    We have a distant relative who lives in Canada whose partner is from an island that got devastated by an eruption like this. Canada issued lax rules for settlement and citizenship for the refugees but I can’t for the life of me find which island it was.

    Was the island Montserrat or another one? I don’t really personally know them so I can’t just go ahead and ask.
