GPLIP Council

The GPLIP Council will strive for diverse representation of members on it. This includes diverse sectors, geographic representation, diverse immigrant representation, and diverse opinions. Council will be made up of between 15 and 19 members representing a combination of immigrants, community sector representatives (health, education, social services, justice, ethno-cultural groups), employers/business, local funders, municipal and immigrant service providers.

Members on Council would be expected to connect with all their groups and circles of influence, both locally and beyond, to ensure they bring various perspectives to Council, and take information back to the community.

Immigrant Advisory Table (IAT)

The IAT is working group solely made up of immigrants who are representative of the Grande Prairie community. Since integration is a two-way process that encourages adjustments on the part of both immigrants and the host Canadian society, it is important to engage immigrants to learn first-hand of the successes and challenges that they face when they arrive in Canada. Ultimately, the goal is to support them to become fully engage in economic, social, political and cultural life of Canada.
