Hamilton Immigration Partnership Council

The Hamilton Immigration Partnership Council (HIPC) brings together leaders from many sectors of the Hamilton community, including the immigrant service provider sector, businesses, unions, community-based organizations, health, local government, media, educational institutions and youth.

Vision Statement and Strategic Priorities:
Hamilton is an inclusive community where the talents and experience that immigrants and refugees bring are valued because they are integral to making Hamilton the best place to raise a child.

Based on community consultations and research, 4 strategic priorities have been identified in pursuit of this vision:

1. Building Collective and Collaborative Leadership
2. Strengthening the Delivery of Settlement Services
3. Creating a Welcoming Community
4. Creating and Disseminating Knowledge of Immigration
