The settlement experiences of newcomers to Canada are shaped by broader social, systemic, and structural forces that can be better understood using an intersectional lens. However, intersectionality is often seen as too theoretical to operationalize within frontline settlement service delivery. Join us for a webinar with members from the “Beyond Technology, Beyond Healthcare” project, as they share lessons learned from a series of multistakeholder dialogues that can transform approaches in ensuring responsive and equitable service delivery for newcomers to Canada.
Speakers: Ibukun Abejirinde, Nancy Clark, and Isabelle Choon-Kon-Yune

Registration: 2024 Consultation | Consultation 2024 (ccrweb.ca)
"In what will likely be the last Consultation before a pivotal federal election, the CCR will work to draw in a wide cross-sectoral coalition, with the intention of building public and political support for refugees and newcomers.

We need to reclaim this space and work towards maintaining and growing Canadian public support for policies that offer a meaningful future for refugees and (im)migrants...."
