Local Immigration Partnership

Local Immigration Partnerships (LIP) are funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), a department of the government of Canada, and support communities in bringing together service providers, settlement agencies, community groups, employers and other key municipal organizations to create a welcoming and inclusive community for newcomers.

In Western Nova Scotia, the work of the LIP is administered by the Western REN. The LIP group identifies new opportunities with a goal of helping newcomers settle in rural areas, and work to identify challenges that are preventing newcomers from fully participating in the economic, social, cultural and recreational life of the community.

Meet Your New Neighbour Events

Every year the Western NS LIP invites and welcomes all Newcomers who have chosen the Western Region as their new home. It doesn’t matter where you are coming from, be it another part of the province, another part of the country or another part of the world. We also invite all locals to welcome our newest neighbours as friends, to learn more about them, and to join the celebration. There is food from other cultures to try, activities for the kids, and new friends to meet. It’s a great opportunity to expand our social circle and feel more at home in your neighborhood!
