Yes.
In terms of my recommendations to the committee, I have four pieces that I'd like to share with you.
Our council and staff believe that Ajax is a community where smart people, strong economies, and innovative ideas intersect.
In communities like Ajax and Durham region, where our communities change at a rapid pace, we must ensure that settlement services are equipped to meet the changing needs of newcomers and that programs and services have the opportunity to be innovative and locally responsive.
We need to continue to resource LIPs to facilitate sustainable community-level change and work in partnership to build more collaborative relationships among all levels of government toward a common goal of economic prosperity for newcomers and social integration.
We need to identify opportunities for research and data collection to inform local plans and support stakeholders to make evidenced-based policy and program decisions.
