2007 ALLIES Learning Exchange: Disseminating Good Ideas – Skilled Immigrants in the Labour Market

In June 2007, Maytree, with support from Citizenship and Immigration Canada and The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation hosted a learning exchange – “Disseminating Good Ideas: Skilled Immigrants in the Labour Market.” This two-day conference provided more than 130 participants from 18 city regions across Canada with the knowledge and competencies to create local movements that enable skilled immigrants to contribute meaningfully to their local economies. Government representatives, employers, funders, educators and community organizations participated in a lively and thought-provoking exchange of ideas.

As a result of this successful Learning Exchange Conference, ALLIES was launched in October, 2007.
