Come North 2020 (Northwest)

Thank you for joining us!

The events aimed to discuss the population growth strategies for Ontario’s northern regions, while examining the challenges and expectations of new arrivals to their new communities.

Goals of Come North:

Increase awareness among all participants about the resources available to attract, retain, and assist new arrivals.
Identify through direct interaction opportunities to leverage, partner, coordinate, and/or share resources, staff and activities.
Develop a concrete list of next steps identifying not only what is to be done, but by whom and by when.
