The results of a long-term SSHRC-funded case study conducted by the CPRSE in partnership with the Centre for Community Based Research, World Renew, the Peel Newcomer Strategy Group, and other organizations have been published. The study was conducted in and around the GTA: in Toronto, Peel, the Waterloo region, and London. Its intent was to explore existing partnerships between faith-based and government-funded settlement organizations in Ontario. The study's results have been made available in a number of formats:
1) Resource Packet (including
Facilitator's Guide and
webinar)
2) Peel Case Study Report
3) World Renew Case Study Report
In particular, the CPRSE's involvement in co-authoring the
Facilitator's Guide and co-conducting the
webinar on the use of this Guide are both products of this study that are worthy of note. Since a major outcome of this study was to highlight strategies and practices these settlement organizations employed, and to consider both their impact and potential moving forward, these resources in particular are intended to be shared widely among community leaders (both faith-based and public) and to enable community discussions and shape best practices.
The
Facilitator's Guide, the
webinar, the
full case reports, and
other resources are all available via the links in the image above.
