LIPS GOC partnersip. The Pathways to Prosperity Partnership (P2P) is an alliance dedicated to fostering welcoming communities that promote the economic, social and civic integration of migrants and minorities in Canada.
We also help communities grow their economies, renew their populace, and reinvigorate their labour markets by fully welcoming immigrants, international students and temporary foreign workers. Two areas of special concern are Northern communities and Francophone minorities outside Quebec. The Partnership includes all key federal and provincial migration ministries; municipalities; national, regional, and local organizations involved in newcomer settlement; and researchers from over fifty universities. The Partnership operates through an overarching, central hub and five regional nodes.
The main activities of the Partnership are primary and secondary research, knowledge transfer, education, and mutual learning. Government’s Role in Urban Poverty. Resource: Audio Seminar | Speark: Neil Bradford In this podcast, Liz Weaver interviews Dr.

Watersheds have served to integrate societies sharing the same drainage area through the provision of water power, irrigation, domestic water supply, fish, wildlife, and transportation.
Since the dawn of agricultural society, drainage and irrigation have been major forces behind efforts to manage and/or develop the land resources of a watershed region. According to Heindl (1972), two pervasive concepts founded the discipline: These common drainage areas should be meaningful to the people who live in them and use their resources.
