Language and Settlement Partnerships

In an effort to better support the delivery of language and settlement programs across Peel and Halton Regions and Dufferin County, IRCC-funded organizations come together in four partnerships that address specific areas and are overseen by one Executive Council:

• Language Partnership (LP)
• Community Connections Partnership (CCP)
• Information, Awareness and Orientation Partnership (IAOP)
• Labour Market Partnership (LMP)

In Peel-Halton-Dufferin, coordinated support is provided to the Peel-Halton-Dufferin Language Partnership. These services include:

• Coordinating professional development and special events
• Facilitating the delivery of language training curriculum based on the Canadian Language Benchmarks
• Liaising with agencies and organizations that provide language training in the Regions of Peel, Halton and Dufferin County and facilitate partnership connections
• Providing statistical information based on language assessment and demographics to funders and partner organizations for planning purposes
• Designing and maintaining websites (www.languagepeelhalton.ca) and teaching resources for Language Instructors
• In York-Simcoe and Durham, coordinated support is provided to the York Region and Simcoe County Language Training Partner group as well as the Durham Community Language Partnership Committee
