Yet immigration partnerships often find it challenging to move beyond the \u201cusual suspects\u201d of the settlement and social service sectors. In this workshop, three LIPs present their experiences engaging with three very different community partners: first responders (police and fire), employers, and Indigenous communities. Each presenter will describe the context and rationale for engagement, identify their successes, and share lessons learned.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>NSAG: The Newcomer Safety Advisory Group \u2013 A Working Group of the Chatham-Kent Local Immigration Partnership <\/strong><\/span><strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/h09D0itTukU\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nVictoria Bodnar, Coordinator, Resident Attraction and Retention, Municipality of Chatham-Kent<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>The Role of the LIP in Newcomer Employment Initiatives <\/strong><\/span><strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/a1j-AdjdRFQ\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nAbigail Cameron, Manager, Tri-Cities Local Immigration Partnership<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Inter-Community Circles: Facilitating Spaces between Newcomers and the Mi\u2019kmaq (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/mt9VrXJvxbc\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>) \u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\r\nRoberto Montiel, Coordinator, Halifax Immigration Partnership<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n11:00 AM to 12:30 PM\r\n<h3><strong><span>Session 2 \u2013 Sustainability and Continuity of Local Immigration Partnerships<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nChair: Carol Brouwers, Project Coordinator, Regina Region Local Immigration Partnership (RRLIP)\r\n\r\nSince 2009, 77 LIPs have been established in communities across Canada. As we near Year 10 it seems right to pause and reflect on the good work we have all undertaken to get us to this point, and to look ahead towards what will keep LIPs sustainable for the next ten years. With that in mind, this workshop will feature discussion on:\r\n\r\n- membership engagement \u2014 ensuring members feel useful and involved\r\n- funding \u2014 diversifying sources to support our work\r\n- outcome measurement \u2014 proving our worth through the capture of meaningful data\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Community Owned - Building, Sustaining and Measuring Partnerships<\/strong><\/span> <strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/fpGOFkxLUJc\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nDan Vandebelt, Community Engagement Coordinator, Waterloo Region Immigration Partnership<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Sustainability of LIPs <\/strong><\/span><strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/K9VZnnw8IRY\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nElena Mizrokhi, Policy Analyst, Settlement and Integration Policy Branch, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Importance of Outcome Measurement <\/strong><\/span><strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/A3UDIssz0Xc\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>) (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/FnOWC1Yn_Xo\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nDavid Kurfurst, Director, Evaluation and Performance Measurement, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC); and Jeslyn Thibedeau, Acting Senior Analyst, Evaluation and Performance Measurement, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n1:45 PM to 3:00 PM\r\n<h3><span><strong>Session 3 \u2014 Anti-Discrimination and Welcoming Communities Campaigns<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\nChair: Carol Brouwers, Project Coordinator, Regina Region Local Immigration Partnership (RRLIP)\r\n\r\nIn recent years, discriminatory events have gained headlines across Canada. Local Immigration Partnerships foster community support for change through awareness campaigns that increase knowledge and shift attitudes. This workshop will highlight three approaches to anti-discrimination and welcoming communities campaigns. Each project showcases a different means to reach their audience: social media, community capacity building, and an event-based campaign.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>SayHello <\/strong><\/span><strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/RpjjNVjn3H0\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nSunita Gupta, Lead, Kingston Immigration Partnership<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Bread and Borders Toolkit: Exploring Fears, Facts and Impacts about Refugee Claimants in Manitoba <\/strong><\/span><strong>\r\nAbdikheir Ahmed, Director, Immigration Partnership Winnipeg<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Rising Above Racism and Hate <\/strong><\/span><strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/kt2jBycHKkY\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nAna Maria Bustamante, LIP Coordinator, Burnaby Local Immigration Partnership<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n3:15 PM to 4:45 PM\r\n<h3><strong><span>Session 4 \u2014 Planning a National LIP Secretariat<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nChair: Roberto Montiel, Coordinator, Halifax Immigration Partnership\r\n\r\nFollowing conversations that took place at the LIP National Event in Calgary on March 2018, and which started with the interest that LIPs expressed on having representation at the National Settlement Council, a working group was put together to look at what a LIP National Body would look like. This session will follow the outcomes of these conversations as well as the progress made by the working group so far, including IRCC\u2019s take on this project. The session is meant to help inform the future of the LIP Secretariat in a way that enhances the work of all existing and potential LIPs.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Supporting a Growing and Diverse LIP Network: IRCC's Views on a National Secretariat (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/_zFdjE0LCFw\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span>\r\nElena Mizrokhi, Policy Analyst, Settlement and Integration Policy Branch, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>National LIP Secretariat: Vision, Process, and Next Steps <\/strong><\/span><strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/oJDKvTgPBKo\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong>\r\nPaulina Wyrzykowski, Director, Toronto South Local Immigration Partnership<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n4:45 PM to 5:00 PM\r\n<h3><strong><span>Closing Remarks<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nVictoria Esses and Jean McRae, Co-Chairs, Pathways to Prosperity Partnership","remove_heading_underline":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":4156,"en_label":"Wednesday November 21, 2018\r\n Hyatt Regency Hotel, Montreal","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":4157,"en_label":"Wednesday November 21, 2018\r\n Hyatt Regency Hotel, Montreal","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6103,"en_label":"NSAG: The Newcomer Safety Advisory Group \u2013 A Working Group of the Chatham-Kent Local Immigration Partnership","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6104,"en_label":"The Role of the LIP in Newcomer Employment Initiatives","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6105,"en_label":"Community Owned - Building, Sustaining and Measuring Partnerships","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6106,"en_label":"Sustainability of LIPs","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6107,"en_label":"Importance of Outcome Measurement","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6108,"en_label":"SayHello","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6109,"en_label":"Bread and Borders Toolkit: Exploring Fears, Facts and Impacts about Refugee Claimants in Manitoba","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6110,"en_label":"Rising Above Racism and Hate","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6111,"en_label":"National LIP Secretariat: Vision, Process, and Next Steps","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/5517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category?post=5517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
