5.3 Priorities for 2020/2021 – Brainstorming & Planning Session

G. Jones suggests some options to consider as short term priorities include creating a Community Award and providing input regarding the diversity display at the Bright Lights event.

R. Al-Saadi proposes targeting 18-25 year old individuals coming from immigrant or refugee backgrounds and holding a diversity event as there is a gap for this particular age group. G. Jones requests further information on this initiative be provided for the committee.

The Chair refers to employment in the city and the need to develop internship programs for immigrants, as new immigrants are not hired for work.
