The WE LIP SPICE (Settlement Partners Immigration Communication Exchange) Committee has been meeting on a quarterly basis since the winter of 2013. The meetings provide valuable opportunities for the City of Windsor staff from Community Development and Health department – Employment and Social Services, Housing and Children’s Services and representatives from Newcomer Service providers to exchange information, learn about each other’s operational models and problem solve challenges both groups face serving their mutual clients.
The committee planned a Professional Learning Circle which took place on Friday, November 15, 2019. This Learning Circle provided an opportunity for a larger complement of front line staff to meet face to face, share information and provide opportunities to seek clarification on specific topics that effect the successful settlement and integration of immigrants into Windsor-Essex.
