Gatineau is inviting the public to participate in an online consultation on immigration, integration and living together to identify and improve the City’s next actions in terms of immigration and living together.

“It goes without saying that diversity is part of our city’s DNA. This consultation will not only allow us to have a clear picture of the current situation, but it will also allow us to adopt more precise actions in this direction,” president of the Commission du vivre-ensemble and Touraine district councillor, Tiffany-Lee Norris Parent, wrote in a press release.

Citizens and local organizations are welcome to express themselves on several themes, such as reception and integration, security, discrimination and racism, along with participation and living together. The consultation can be completed at gatineau.ca/consultations until May 9.

The results will assist in developing a three-year action plan on immigration and living together, in partnership with the Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration.

Along with the online consultation, Gatineau plans to hold a forum for organizations and stakeholders in the field on May 8 which will also help in the development of the City’s next action plan. The data collected will be arranged into a report and made available on the City’s website at gatineau.ca/consultations.
