Where did the idea for the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council come from?
The genesis of the Council began in June 2002 with the Toronto City Summit, a conference of leaders representing the city’s various sectors and communities. The Summit was held to assess the Toronto Region’s strengths and challenges and shape future directions. Following the summit, the Toronto City Summit Alliance (TCSA) was formed to address the challenges identified. Recognizing that the future success of the region is directly tied to its ability to take full advantage of immigrant skills, the TCSA recommended that a Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council be created to improve immigrant access to employment. Prior to the TCSA’s recommendation, immigrant employment had also been singled out as a particular focus for Maytree, a private charitable foundation committed to reducing poverty and inequality in Canada and to building strong civic communities. Maytree had put forward innovative ideas and groundbreaking research on how to better integrate skilled immigrants into the work
