Building from the Bottom Up! “Smart Settlement” in Practice Conference

Registration Now Open!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On Thursday, January 27th, 2011, at the Ajax Community Centre, Ajax, Ontario; the Council of Agencies Serving South Asians (CASSA), is hosting a one-day conference called Building from the Bottom Up!: “Smart Settlement” in Practice.

Over the last three years, CASSA has connected and developed partnerships with community agencies, leaders and members in small and medium size municipalities in the province. Over this time period we have had many successes, challenges and lessons learned. We have also been observing the excellent work that our colleagues have been doing throughout the province. Thus, this conference is an opportunity for us and others pursuing community engagement for systems change to share experiences and develop skills and capacities.

Similarly, in an environment of limited resources, the settlement sector has moved towards more collaboration, partnership development and the sharing of resources. This forum provides members of the sector a venue to reflect on the political, social and economic environments, to network, and to develop a vision for the future of the sector.


Please join us for this very important event!
