Research on Immigrant Integration & Inclusion Needs
The ultimate goal of the project is to identify needs and gaps in the integration and inclusion journey of newcomers in the Tri-Cities. The research will:
- Determine community priorities related to immigrant integration and inclusion
- Identify potential strategies that the collaborative could enact to support community priorities
- Develop key indicators to measure the success of the collaborative in addressing needs and gaps to integration and inclusion
This research project will provide community stakeholders with a roadmap to guide and align opportunities for collaboration. Click on the PDF to find out more about this Research RFP opportunity.
Strategic Plan for 2016-2019 Unveiled
Based on several community consultations and literature review and analyses, the TCLIP developed its Strategic Plan for 2016 – 2019. Four strategic priorities were identified:
- Immigrant Labour Market Integration
- Newcomers’ Knowledge of and Access to Community Information and Services
- Social Isolation of Tri-Cities’ Newcomers
- Civic Engagement of Tri-Cities’ Newcomers
TCLIP has successfully received funding for the implementation of these strategic priorities for 2016- 2019. During the implementation phase, we will continue to emphasize the importance and value of partnerships, collaborations, community engagement and sustainability in our activities. Our annual action plans are guided by the strategic plan and directed by the TCLIP Council and several committees.
