This toolbox is a compilation of the Toronto North Local Immigration Partnership (TNLIP) projects implemented in 2016-2017. The TNLIP served as a “backbone” for all the projects – facilitating, coordinating, organizing, finding resources and more to support the projects initiated by the three workgroups: Settlement, Orientation & Language, Health & Well-being and Employment & Labour Market. Several of these projects were supported by other Toronto LIPs. We thank all the group members, partners and our funder for making these projects succeed!
