PROJECT ANTECEDENTS
Making Grey Bruce Home
February 2018 – March 2019

This pilot project was a partnership between United Way of Bruce Grey and Welcoming Communities Grey Bruce, and was funded by the Government of Ontario with support from the Community Foundation Grey Bruce and Power Workers Union.

​It developed, implemented and evaluated a rural service delivery model, which would enhance the capacity of communities and service providers to support the social and economic integration of refugees and vulnerable newcomers where conventional settlement program is not available.


The project created the following resources:
- Newcomer Information Bruce Grey Website
​- Making Rural Communities Home
- Service Provider Training Manual
- Volunteer Mentor Training Manual

Outcomes:
