REIMAGINING SETTLEMENT
Insights and four organizational case stories from a research and learning inquiry that explored diverse settlement service providers in Nova Scotia. Conducted by People Development in partnership with four community organizations, Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS) and funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in 2024 as part of an
Anti-Racism Project.
"These case-studies offer invaluable insights on how local community-rooted institutions are responding to the changing demographics, building inclusivity, and most importantly - fostering a sense of belonging among both new and old. Each organization presents its own unique space and approach, helping us learn how sociocultural engagement and dimensions of ‘settlement’ complements more traditional settlement elements such as language housing, jobs and legal processes."
