Join newcomer-serving organizations and community partners for the launch of this practical Toronto-wide guide for getting newcomer services ready and working together.

The Toronto-Wide Newcomer Service Readiness and Coordination Toolkit is a practical guide designed to help newcomer-serving organizations recognize periods of unusually high or complex demand, coordinate their response, maintain access to essential services, and connect with available resources.

It includes activation guidance, referral and communication tools, risk-specific scenarios, a readiness self-assessment, templates for organizational planning, and a frontline companion for staff and volunteers.

The launch will explain why the toolkit was developed and include agency experiences from periods of high demand. A practical demonstration will show how organizations can coordinate needs and find resources.

Join us in person for the launch of the Newcomer Service Readiness and Coordination Toolkit. We’d love to see you there!

• When: Thursday, November 12, 9:30 AM – 12 PM
