newcomers in Winnipeg.
The
LIPW will be composed of stakeholders who represent employers, labour,
education, social services, government, and community organizations that serve
newcomers.
The LIPW project will:
·
Systematize local engagement of service providers and other institutions
in newcomers’ integration process;
·
Support community-level research and strategic planning; and,
·
Improve coordination of effective services that facilitate
immigrant settlement and integration.
The LIPW will not deliver services directly to newcomers, but
will provide a collaborative framework to facilitate the development and
implementation of sustainable solutions for the successful integration of
newcomers that are local and regional in scope.
The
overall objective of the LIPW initiative is to increase the economic and social
inclusion of newcomers into the City of Winnipeg by coordinating
community-level planning, communication among stakeholders and identifying
needs of newcomers through consultations with decision-makers in community organizations
and institutions.
