EAST CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN IMMIGRATION PARTNERSHIP

East Central Saskatchewan Immigration Partnership

In September of 2021, after research identified a need for a local immigration partnership, a huge step forward was taken towards creating more welcoming and inclusive communities throughout East Central Saskatchewan by starting a Local Immigration Partnership which is known as East Central Saskatchewan Immigration Partnership (ECSIP).

ECSIP is a community collaboration that acts as an incubator for ideas, identifying newcomer needs and mobilizing the appropriate community resources to meet those needs. 

ECSIP is an association of community members, organizations, and stakeholders collaborating together to support newcomers settling in East Central Saskatchewan. Working together to identify the unique needs of newcomers and develop strategies to address those needs. 

ECSIP builds on existing strengths in the community to facilitate the full participation of newcomers in the region. 

Local Immigration Partnerships are Community Initiatives that:

• Promotes the settlement and integration of newcomers;  
• Builds on the community’s strengths; 
• Supports community-level research; 
• Promotes linkages between sectors; 
• Engages with a diversity of stakeholders;  
• Enhances collaboration, coordination and strategic planning at the community level; and 
• Fosters a more welcoming community where immigrants are fully engaged and integrated.  

As per our mandate, we do not provide direct service to clients. We aim to partner with other organizations to share the perspective of newcomers, and promote the characteristic of a welcoming community through collaboration, partnership and education.
