But how do we promote collaboration when it is not a given? Speakers in this plenary will discuss the strategies they use to establish and maintain collaborations and partnerships, including challenges they have experienced and how they have overcome them. They will also describe promising practices in collaboration that have worked for them and key features that have made these collaborations successful. The goal is to share and learn from each other so that we can together promote welcoming communities that support the settlement and integration of newcomers in Canada.\r\n

En somme, les politiques d'accueil et d\u2019int\u00e9gration mises en \u0153uvre dans les CFSM satisfont-elles les attentes de cette population immigrante de plus en plus diversifi\u00e9e et vari\u00e9e ?\r\n- \r\n \t

Local Immigration Partnerships play a crucial role in supporting newcomers and fostering their successful integration into the community. To enhance their effectiveness, LIPs need to systematically understand newcomer challenges and community capacities by employing robust evaluation tools. This evidence-based workshop will present approaches to measuring newcomer needs and outcomes on three levels - 1) Indices of compelling and measurable indicators for LIPs 2) Case studies of measuring newcomer needs and outcomes and 3) Data sources for LIPs to effectively measure newcomer needs, assets, and outcomes.\r\n

Facilitated by AMSSA and RIFCB, both organizations will share their experiences with collaboration and partnerships the two have engaged in thus far to support their members with this goal. Through small group discussion, participants will be asked to share their challenges, best practices and vision for the future of Franco-Anglo collaboration.\r\n \r\n\r\nE5 (in person) \u2013 Building Bridges: Launching a One-Stop Talent Hub and Collaborative Framework for Enhanced Newcomer Employment\r\n<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nChair: Nora Whittington - Waterloo Region Immigration Partnership and Sarwar Mustofa, Toronto East Quadrant Local Immigration Partnership (TEQ LIP)\r\n\r\nThis workshop brings together innovative approaches to improving employment outcomes for newcomers through collaborative frameworks and targeted community initiatives. The InterLIP Employment Action Group, comprising four Toronto quadrant Local Immigration Partnerships (LIPs) and the Toronto Newcomer Office, collaborates on Toronto-wide initiatives to address barriers to meaningful employment for newcomers. By leveraging the collective impact framework, the group has successfully implemented projects that enhance the coordination, knowledge, and capacity of service providers. This workshop will showcase their approach, key outcomes, and future directions for their projects. Additionally, in response to Waterloo Region employers\u2019 call for a streamlined way to access job-ready immigrant talent, the Waterloo Region Immigration Partnership formed a task group that embarked on a four-year research and community engagement initiative. After extensive consultations with employers, service providers, and business organizations, they secured a host and funding, leading to the launch of the Workplace & Immigrant Network (WIN) in fall 2023. Join this workshop to learn about WIN\u2019s journey and its current initiatives. Together, these initiatives illustrate how collaborative frameworks and community-driven solutions are paving the way for enhanced newcomer employment opportunities.\r\n

The NAC aims to implement a place-based model for an accessible and responsive service system for newcomers with disabilities, their families, and caretakers. The objective of this discussion is to contribute to the capacity of settlement service providers serving newcomers with disabilities by sharing the NAC\u2019s initiatives thus far, learnings around developing and sustaining a cross-regional partnership to achieve collaborative outcomes, and engaging in a wider discussion on the needs, challenges and promising practices in serving newcomers with disabilities.\r\n \r\n\r\n02:45 PM - 04:00 PM PST<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nWorkshops and Roundtables<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\nF1 (in person) \u2013 A Strategic Priority Collaboration with Anglophone and Francophone Sectors in Vancouver\r\n<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nChair: Koyali Burman - Vancouver Local Immigration Partnership (VLIP)\r\n\r\nThe Vancouver Local Immigration Partnership (VLIP) is strategically collaborating, across sectors, to influence impactful integration and well-being of newcomers to Canada. An inclusive stakeholder engagement strategy presentation provides an overview of the role of the VLIP in bridging the Anglophone and Francophone sectors to strengthen settlement services in British Columbia. The VLIP alongside Anglophone and Francophone agencies is fostering cross-cultural partnerships and collaborative efforts to enhance service delivery, promote inclusivity, and create a strong community environment. The workshop will also highlight best practices from Francophone members of VLIP who will provide valuable insights into embedding inclusive and intersectional approaches for better outcomes across populations.\r\n

The NAC aims to implement a place-based model for an accessible and responsive service system for newcomers with disabilities, their families, and caretakers. The objective of this discussion is to contribute to the capacity of settlement service providers serving newcomers with disabilities by sharing the NAC\u2019s initiatives thus far, learnings around developing and sustaining a cross-regional partnership to achieve collaborative outcomes, and engaging in a wider discussion on the needs, challenges and promising practices in serving newcomers with disabilities.\r\n \r\n\r\n02:45 PM - 04:00 PM PST<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nWorkshops and Roundtables<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\nF1 (in person) \u2013 A Strategic Priority Collaboration with Anglophone and Francophone Sectors in Vancouver\r\n<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nChair: Koyali Burman - Vancouver Local Immigration Partnership (VLIP)\r\n\r\nThe Vancouver Local Immigration Partnership (VLIP) is strategically collaborating, across sectors, to influence impactful integration and well-being of newcomers to Canada. An inclusive stakeholder engagement strategy presentation provides an overview of the role of the VLIP in bridging the Anglophone and Francophone sectors to strengthen settlement services in British Columbia. The VLIP alongside Anglophone and Francophone agencies is fostering cross-cultural partnerships and collaborative efforts to enhance service delivery, promote inclusivity, and create a strong community environment. The workshop will also highlight best practices from Francophone members of VLIP who will provide valuable insights into embedding inclusive and intersectional approaches for better outcomes across populations.\r\n
