A Special Report on the Vision of a New Model for Enhancing Newcomer Settlement Services in Peel
After two years of research, consultation and analysis, Peel Newcomer Strategy Group has developed the vision of a new model for newcomer settlement and inclusion in Peel. This new model recommends creation of a network of services that are centrally coordinated and delivered through community hubs, combined with flexible roving newcomer services from specialized agencies. The abridged version of the report is available here.
Mississauga, ON (Feb. 24, 2010):More than 100 community leaders representing newcomer serving agencies and mainstream community organizations participated today in a workshop to learn about challenges and opportunities of collaborative leadership and its social impact.
Organized by Peel Newcomer Strategy Group (PNSG) in partnership with Peel Leadership Centre at Living Arts Centre, Mississauga, the objective of the workshop was to advance collaborative endeavours to address the complex and changing social needs of our communities.
Mississauga, ON (Nov. 19, 2009):Strengthening the organizational capacity of agencies serving newcomers is vital to deliver effective and sustainable services for our newcomers, says Evelyn Myrie, director of the Peel Newcomer Strategy Group (PNSG). While speaking at a funders’ forum at the Living Arts Centre, Myrie said, “Our ability to make Peel Region a centre of excellence for the settlement and integration of newcomers depends a lot on the capacity of the agencies.”
Advancing social innovation and out-of-the-box approaches to the settlement and integration of newcomers was the emphasis of the event’s keynote speaker, Stephen Huddart, Vice-President of the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation.
