Community Initiatives
Local Immigration Partnerships are collaborative by their very definition. The Sarnia-Lambton LIP works closely with a number of initiatives which are related to the community’s Settlement Strategy but independent of the LIP. Representation on these groups helps to maintain LIP Council’s connection with them and provides a forum to advocate for immigrant and newcomer needs.
