NET LIP Focus Group Analysis Report 2025

As TNLIP and TEQ LIP merged to form the new NET LIP and we transitioned to a larger geographic area, we adopted a neighbourhood-based approach to ensure a bottom-up model for information gathering. In 2025, NET LIP hosted a series of eight focus groups across key neighbourhood clusters in North York and Scarborough. Focus group participants included from insights of frontline settlement workers, community agencies, health and mental health providers, youth workers, grassroots organizations, and practitioners who support refugees, seniors, residents, families, international students, and racialized newcomers. These insights are synthesized into a report, available on the NETLIP website below.
