Regional Accountability Models for Settlement in Peel
PNSG was one of the Local Immigration Partnerships (LIPs) selected by IRCC to develop a regional model through a robust community consultation process. IRCC was interested in funding the development of models of community-based plans that support the understanding that newcomer settlement and integration occurs locally, and that decision-making at the local level may improve the effectiveness of service delivery, leading to better outcomes for newcomers.
2023 Newcomer Mental Health and Wellness Report
The report focuses on the role that settlement sector can play in supporting mental health of newcomers. The report synthesizes stakeholder insights, including short-term counsellors from Peel’s settlement sector, and identifies key issues related to settlement service delivery and the mental health needs of clients. It highlights innovations and opportunities for greater connection among various service providers.

The report paints a broad picture of newcomer settlement in Peel, compiling current census data, longitudinal immigration database, informal settlement study data and results from a 2018 PNSG survey of settlement service providers, describing Peel newcomer settlement priorities. The report suggests how these findings should influence local settlement and integration efforts for greater efficacy and impact.
