The annual Metropolis North America (MNA) Migration Policy Forum has become an important three-country platform for exchanging evidence-based ideas and practices on migration and identities. The Forum enables participants to share knowledge and key lessons on policy issues in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
From June 28-29, 2021, we will hold a virtual forum in partnership with the University of Manitoba and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) aimed at showcasing the research from the CIHR funded project on the differential impacts of COVID-19 on immigrants, Indigenous peoples and vulnerable communities in the three countries.
On day 1, June 28th, the Forum will feature sessions that will offer two country or three country comparisons of findings from the surveys associated with the CIHR research project. Click on this link to view the questions to be addressed.
On day 2, June 29th, the Forum will focus specifically on cross border movement between the three countries. Day 2 will convene policy makers at all three levels of government in Canada and the United States, Indigenous representatives as well as researchers in the two countries to consider proposals for reopening the border and what the conditions might be for doing so. The day will feature two plenary sessions and three round tables that will include US-Canada border Mayors, Indigenous leaders, researchers, business leaders and public health officials.
A preliminary program will be posted shortly at www.metropolisconference.ca.
