The potential consequences of the pandemic include discrimination, exclusion, trauma, compromised health, gender-based violence, and disrupted settlement and integration. Moving beyond negative impacts, we will also discuss the remarkable resilience that has been displayed during the pandemic by immigrant communities and those who serve them, and strategies that have been developed to ameliorate harm.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>The Impact of COVID on Marginalized Groups - From Discourse to Action<\/strong><\/span> <strong>\r\nNina Condo, Elmwood Community Resource Centre<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Centering Stories<\/strong> <\/span><strong>\r\nDon Boddy, Manitoba Association of Newcomer Serving Agencies (MANSO)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><span>Addressing the Amplified Risks of Pandemic Times for LGBTQI Refugees: Learnings for Now and the Renewa<\/span>l<\/strong> <strong>\r\nSharalyn Jordan, Simon Fraser University<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>The Impact of COVID-19 on the Professional Integration of Newcomers\u00a0in Canada<\/strong><\/span> <strong>\r\nPaul Muamba, R\u00e9seau de d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique et d'employabilit\u00e9 (RD\u00c9E)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n3:30 - 4:45 PM\u00a0EST\r\n<h3><span>Concurrent Workshops (<a href=\"http:\/\/p2pcanada.test\/library\/pathways-to-prosperity-2020-conference-workshops-conference-nationale-2019-de-voies-vers-la-prosperite-ateliers\/\">Video Recording and\u00a0Powerpoint presentations from the workshops available here<\/a>)<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n6:30 - 7:00 PM\u00a0EST\r\n<h3><strong><span>1) Entertainment sessions with live music and poetry\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Live Music by Frank Bessai, Founding Member of the Musical Ensemble \u201cLe Fuzz\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Spoken Word Performance by Fauzia Agbonhin, Award-Winning Poet<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><strong><span>2) Discussion Room:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Planning for Post-COVID-19 Recovery: What Research is Needed?<\/li>\r\n\t<li>The Post-COVID-19 Settlement Sector: Getting Back to the New Normal?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3><span>Tuesday, November 24, 2020<\/span><\/h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n11:00\u00a0-\u00a012:15 AM\u00a0EST\r\n<h3><span>Opening Remarks: Fraser Valentine, Assistant Deputy Minister of Settlement and Integration, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/s6S5A35HqtM\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/span>\r\n<span>and<\/span>\r\n<span>Special Keynote Speaker: Christopher Stuart Taylor, Author, Public Servant, and Educator (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/ojzJ97DSsqk\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/span><\/h3>\r\nChair: Victoria Esses, Pathways to Prosperity\r\n\r\n<strong>Confronting Racism Toward Immigrants to Canada: Links to the Past and Future Prospects\r\n<\/strong>Dr. Christopher Stuart Taylor focuses on issues of diversity, inclusion, multiculturalism, immigration, race and ethnicity, anti-racism, Black Canadian history, Caribbean history, slavery in the Americas, the African and Black diaspora, and Black identity.

Discrimination is also experienced by immigrants in diverse facets of their lives, from the workplace to the provision of healthcare. The speakers in this plenary will explore some of these complexities and the impact they have on immigrants\u2019 experiences, as well as providing actionable recommendations for change.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong><span>An Intersectionality Approach to Understanding and Addressing the Needs of Black Immigrants in Canada<\/span> \r\nBukola Salami, University of Alberta<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><span>Racializing the \"Problem\" of Immigrants' Accents at Work<\/span> \r\nVijay Ramjattan, University of Toronto<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><span>Intersectional Discrimination: What If We Seriously Talk About It?<\/span> \r\nSalimata Soro, Conseil de d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique des municipalit\u00e9s bilingues du Manitoba (CDEM)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong><span>The Service Access Needs of Racialized and Indigenous Communities<\/span> \r\nCiann Wilson, Wilfrid Laurier University<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n3:00 - 4:15 PM\u00a0EST\r\n<h3><span>Concurrent Workshops (<a href=\"http:\/\/p2pcanada.test\/library\/pathways-to-prosperity-2020-conference-workshops-conference-nationale-2019-de-voies-vers-la-prosperite-ateliers\/\">Video Recording and\u00a0Powerpoint presentations from the workshops available here<\/a>)<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n4:15 - 4:45 PM EST\r\n<h3><span><strong>Poster Awards and Closing Remarks<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\nChairs: Jean McRae, CEO, Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria and Victoria Esses, Pathways to Prosperity | Voies vers la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9","remove_heading_underline":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6343,"en_label":"Opening Remarks, Indigenous Perspectives, and The Honourable Marco Mendicino (Video)","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6344,"en_label":"The Impact of COVID on Marginalized Groups - From Discourse to Action","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6345,"en_label":"Centering Stories","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6346,"en_label":"Addressing the Amplified Risks of Pandemic Times for LGBTQI Refugees: Learnings for Now and the Renewal","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6347,"en_label":"The Impact of COVID-19 on the Professional Integration of Newcomers\u00a0in Canada","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6348,"en_label":"An Intersectional Approach to Understanding and Reducing Discrimination Towards Immigrants (Video)","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6349,"en_label":"An Intersectionality Approach to Understanding and Addressing the Needs of Black Immigrants in Canada","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6350,"en_label":"Racializing the \"Problem\" of Immigrants' Accents at Work","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"media_feature","type":"pdf","pdf":{"en_file":6351,"en_label":"Intersectional Discrimination: What If We Seriously Talk About It?","fr_file":null,"fr_label":""},"video":{"title":"","video":null}}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/5542","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=5542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/p2pcanada.truemarket.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category?post=5542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
