The Bathurst-Finch Local Immigration Partnership (BF-LIP) is primarily focused on enhancing the settlement success of newcomers in priority neighbourhoods. This synthesis document summarizes consultations with residents, service-providers and grassroots groups about the settlement of newcomers in Bathurst-Finch. The full results are available in three separate documents. By synthesizing what we have heard, the BF-LIP is preparing for the strategizing and planning phase that will seek to address needs among newcomers, as well as barriers to successful settlement. Some facts from the 2006 Canadian Census have been provided throughout the document, to provide context to the findings of our consultations. Some planning questions have been suggested throughout the document to inspire thought and discussion about the development of the immigrant settlement and employment strategy. Questions about the project, process, or next steps should be directed to lip@jvstoronto.org
