Racism and Discrimination Experienced by Racialized Newcomers When Accessing Settlement Services in Southwestern Ontario - This event has already occurred
By Western University’s Network for Economic and Social Trends (NEST) and Pathways to Prosperity Partnership (P2P)
This workshop will present the results of a research project examining the barriers, particularly racism and discrimination, experienced by newcomers in accessing settlement services in small and mid-sized communities in Southwestern Ontario. In partnership with Local Immigration Partnerships in eight regions of Southwestern Ontario, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 94 newcomers who had accessed settlement services in these regions and with 15 service providers in the regions. The presenters will discuss the results from this study using an intersectional GBA+ approach, and evidence-based recommendations for improving service accessibility and inclusivity. The knowledge gained fills a gap by focusing on the specific experiences of racism and discrimination that newcomers may face in accessing settlement services, and by working in communities outside of the large metropolises in Canada.
