#ImmigrantsWork: A Collective Approach to Co-Designing Solutions for Immigrant Inclusion

Closing the talent gap and ensuring skilled immigrants and refugees successfully transition from arrival to settlement and employment is critical to economic competitiveness and social cohesion. Communities that put the unique experiences and needs of newcomers at the centre, taking a collaborative approach that brings together settlement agencies, municipal governments, workforce development stakeholders and industry/employer-facing organizations/employers, are better positioned to welcome newcomers and reap the benefits of immigration.

Using a practical approach rooted in Results-Based Accountability and logic models, we’ll walk through how we developed a shared framework that captures meaningful outcomes across diverse areas like community safety, youth development, poverty reduction, and more.

Working Together to Prevent and End Poverty and Increase Well-Being in Niagara

In March 2024, Niagara Region Council endorsed the Niagara Poverty Reduction Strategy. Recognizing that the Regional Municipality of Niagara and many local providers already deliver services to lift people out of poverty, this Strategy identifies best practice, uncovers gaps and leverages local knowledge to inform future action. Diverse perspectives and experiences shaped this community-owned Strategy. Over 1000 residents informed the Strategy including people living in poverty and over 200 Indigenous people. During this session, the presenters will review the collective impact approach used to engage community and collaborate with many sectors to create the Strategy. They will outline the Strategy’s areas of focus, recommendations and actions. The presenters will describe the evaluation plan designed to measure success and reflect on highlights from the first year of implementation, including how the Strategy informed a regional grant funding program. This presentation will be of interest for municipalities working to end poverty. Whether you're thinking of creating a poverty reduction strategy or looking for ways to enhance existing efforts, you’ll leave with insights and inspiration to engage community, monitor success and build collaborations that can work together to end poverty.
