CASE STUDY | - WHEN COMMUNITY RESIDENTS DEFINE PRIORITIES 5

To ground Click here to learn more about the six projects selected to improve economic opportunity for this process in the Peel community, the immigrants in the Peel Region Tamarack team formed a People’s Panel. [...] Tamarack worked with the People’s Panel and supported them as they: • Co-designed the Building Equitable Economies for Immigrants and Refugees Peel funding opportunity and defined key funding priorities • Made funding decisions to support the development of equitable economies for immigrants and refugees within the Peel region After having reviewed many submissions, the People’s Panel selected six. [...] Additionally, they valued the presence of the People’s Panel and felt comfortable in knowing that members of the Peel community would be making the final funding decisions. [...] The goal of these training modules is to give employers the knowledge and resources necessary to ensure that they can offer valuable and meaningful employment to the international students they employ. [...] The insight that has emerged from this project will continue to shape Laadliyan’s work and will strengthen the Peel region’s ability to respond and accommodate to the lived experiences of international students.
