With funding from Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada, Immigrant Services Association in Nova Scotia (ISANS) partnered with CCBR to pilot & evaluate tailored equity & anti-racism tools designed to enhance services for racialized immigrants in four sectors – volunteerism, family support services, disability support services and recreation.

CCBR worked with the Guelph-Wellington Local Immigration Partnership (GWLIP) to prepare them for a community-based evaluation of their network.  CCBR conducted a document review and conversations that informed the design of the evaluation framework. The final evaluation framework included an evaluation purpose, evaluation questions, a network logic model, a measurement matrix, and an evaluation workplan.

CCBR supported the Peel Newcomer Strategy Group (PNSG) to develop a regional accountability model for settlement. This project was initiated and funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and involved multiple phases of research and community consultation to develop a Peel-specific model for governing settlement funding, systems planning, and newcomer support along the settlement journey.

A national research collaboration, led by the Evaluation Capacity Network at the University of Alberta, to develop community-driven and culturally relevant approaches for producing and using evidence to improve early childhood practice, programs, and policy toward system effectiveness. 

This project was a review to improve refugee services and structures in Kitchener-Waterloo.
