The Strengthening Settlement Capacity Project
The project was divided into three phases. The first phase was completed
with the National Settlement Conference I in Kingston in June 2001. The
conference was a working forum designed to provide meaningful dialogue
on settlement policy in Canada, enhance overall service delivery capacity
in the sector and facilitate learning within the sector. A key outcome
of the conference was the establishment of four
national VSI policy working groups to examine specific settlement
issues. The second phase, in which the working groups developed draft
reports and recommendations, has been completed. These reports were taken
to NSCII for discussion and ratification. The third phase, the NSCII conference,
was completed in October 2003.
Representation on the committees and working groups that managed this
project was approximately two thirds sector and one third government.
