  • ABOUT US

    The Welcoming Communities Initiative (WCI) is a multidisciplinary alliance of universities, colleges, and community organizations dedicated to promoting the integration of immigrants and minorities across Ontario.

    To achieve this goal, the WCI seeks to implement a comprehensive program of research aimed at devising, improving and testing measures to attract, retain, and integrate newcomers, including students and foreign workers, in cities, towns and less populated locales. Many of these communities would like to grow their economies, renew their populace, and reinvigorate their labour markets.

    The WCI favours research that combines local expertise with academic scholarship in order to address practical concerns and challenges. In particular, the Initiative promotes comparative work that engages local stakeholders, scrutinizes promising practices, communicates effectively, and drives innovation and improvements.
