Need newcomer data?

The Newcomer Profile Tool provides useful information and data to those looking to find out more about the Region of Peel, Brampton, Caledon, Mississauga, and the people that call the Region home. It provides frequently used data from the 2016 Census in a more user-friendly format than spreadsheets. The tool was created by the Peel Data Centre.

2021 IRCC Planning Day report for Peel & Halton

PNSG hosted an online consultation with almost 100 IRCC-funded stakeholders to document and celebrate the resilience of the settlement sector after a transformative year, as well as identify planning priorities: enhancing service capacity; leveraging technology more effectively; IRCC operational supports; and increased immigrant admissions.

Advocacy: Co-Designing an Equitable and Inclusive Health System in Peel

As part of our work on the Anti-Black Racism & Systemic Discrimination collaborative in Peel, PNSG participated on a healthcare sub-table that co-authored a February 2021 health equity position statement that collected first-person narratives, regional population-level statistics and recommendations for greater service and system co-design, as well as understanding how equity can be embedded in funding decisions.
