Digital exclusion is increasingly shaping newcomers’ ability to access housing, employment, immigration services, education, and basic supports.
This Work Group, established in Winter 2026, focuses on co-developing practical, equity-driven approaches across three interconnected areas:
- Strengthening supports for digital literacy and system navigation for newcomers
- Building the digital capacity of grassroots and community-based organizations
- Advancing structural and policy change so digital systems are more accessible, inclusive, and accountable
The Innovation, Technology and Digital Equity work group have been exploring the research and first-hand experience of newcomers accessing hybrid services and existing in a digital-first world. A plan is being finalised focused on activities which provide direct and immediate support of newcomers, build sector capacity, and help to align digital systems for inclusive access.
