The Welcoming Communities Coalition released its 2023 Needs Assessment Report in January, the result of months of research to better understand what prevents the full integration of immigrants and refugees in our communities.
Learn more about the report here.

We understand that it can be daunting to read a 73-page report, yet the findings in this report can help organizations improve programs and services to better support newcomers and others in our communities.
To help organizations delve into the report and think deeply about what it means to be a welcoming community, we’ve created a handy workbook: Needs Assessment Workbook PDF
We encourage you to download the workbook via the link above and complete the exercises with members in your organization.
If your organization would like to do this with Coalition staff, reach out to coordinator Julie Keumbehdjian at julie.keumbehdjian@immigrantwelcome.ca or 250-338-6359.
