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 | Vibrant Canada.

In this clip, Neil explains why urban poverty is a complex and “wicked” problem that requires an integrated approach and attention to income support policies as well as place-based policies. Back to top Roles for Government Neil explains here that provincial governments are important because they are at the ‘interface’ of people and place-based policies: 1. PB governance principles.

Resources – human, financial, and natural, are the foundations of community development. In order to improve their own livelihoods, civilizations of people have attempted to manage the resources around them for millennia. Whether by accident or by design, watersheds – natural boundaries within which landscape drainage occurs toward common receiving bodies of water – have been managed for survival and societal enhancement, and with varying degrees of success. 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.

Vancouver Agreement. Note: The Vancouver Agreement (VA) expired in March 2010. This website chronicled the life of the VA and still provides information about the Agreement and the projects it funded. For a retrospective overview see Vancouver Agreement 2000-2010 Highlights. The Vancouver Agreement (VA) is an agreement among three levels of government to support local community solutions to economic, social, health and safety issues. This urban development initiative focuses on Vancouver’s inner city and in particular the Downtown Eastside (DTES). The VA promotes partnerships between governments, community organizations and businesses. The goal is to work together to create healthy, safe neighbourhoods that are economically and socially prosperous, making them desirable places to live and work for all residents.
In March 2000, the governments of Canada, British Columbia, and the City of Vancouver signed an agreement for a five-year term which was renewed to March 2010.

IISD takes part in Water Festival at The Forks The Water Innovation Centre participated in the Water Festival at The Forks as part of Manitoba's first Sustainability Month Our Lake, Our Solutions: Two years of progress and partnerships Two years ago, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) hosted the Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The event brought together 150 stakeholders to talk about solutions for Lake Winnipeg, the 10th largest freshwater lake in the world and one of the most nutrient-stressed.To mark the second anniversary of the Summit, IISD has produced a video featuring an overview of the progress since 2010, particularly research into how to turn the concept of a bioeconomy for the Lake Winnipeg Basin into reality.A key point that came out of the Summit was that the problem of Lake Winnipeg phosphorus loading could be flipped on its head and viewed as an opportunity for innovation and economic development.

CRiSTAL is a project-planning tool that helps users design activities that support climate adaptation (i.e., adaptation to climate variability and change) at the community level. CRiSTAL stands for “Community-based Risk Screening Tool – Adaptation and Livelihoods.”
Community-based – CRiSTAL focuses on projects at the local community level. Risk Screening – CRiSTAL helps users to identify and prioritize climate risks that their projects might address. Adaptation and Livelihoods – CRiSTAL helps users to identify livelihood resources most important to climate adaptation (i.e., adaptation to climate variability and change) and uses these as a basis for designing adaptation strategies. While climate variability and change may not always be the most important stresses affecting a specific community, they should always be considered when designing and implementing a development project, particularly in communities characterized by climate-sensitive and/or natural resource-dependent livelihoods.
