Origin
Summary
The Toronto Newcomer Strategy lays out a framework and vision for successful newcomer settlement in Toronto. The strategy describes how the City of Toronto will contribute to shared leadership and facilitate more effective coordination across multiple sectors to ensure newcomers maintain their good health, fully contribute their skills in the labour market, engage more with their municipality and build capacity in the community-based sector.
Building on the work of the Toronto Newcomer Initiative, the Toronto Newcomer Strategy outlines three components to build stronger intergovernmental and multi-sectoral collaboration to help newcomers thrive and prosper.
The Toronto Newcomer Strategy results from the joint efforts of several City Divisions, community based partners and other orders of government. Implementation plans for the strategy are meant to be responsive, evolving through shared planning and leadership, learning by doing, and integrating work across other City priorities and directions.
