Migration governance in the Americas: A shared vision

Across the Americas substantial and spontaneous migration persists thus resulting in increased and varied challenges for policy-makers and civil society. Across the Americas there are several bilateral/binational migration agreements on such issues as temporary labour mobility, international students, border security, asylum governance, refugee resettlement, credential recognition and others. But divergent national interests and domestic political considerations have made it increasingly difficult to secure multi-nation cooperation on migration between immigrant sending and receiving countries.  It is nonetheless imperative to identify the converging or shared elements of a broader Americas vision if we’re to effectively meet the many and varied challenges ahead. With a focus on the best means for fostering cooperation on migration across the Americas this edition of Metropolis Americas invites policy-makers, researchers and civil society to submit proposals for workshops and round tables on the following topics

The event will feature a combination of educational sessions, interactive activities, and community showcases. The event will include a combination of panel discussions, keynote addresses and a documentary film screening on real life incidents and experiences of hate and racism in Canada.

Day one of the event will be held online, leveraging our platform to reach a broader audience across multiple provinces. Day two will be held in-person in Vancouver, offering a more intimate and engaging experience for participants, with the option for virtual participants to dial in on day two. This hybrid approach ensures consistent, high-quality event delivery to diverse communities across Canada.

According to Public Safety Canada, Canada continues to experience high rates of community tension, hate crimes, and violence in both global and domestic contexts. Police-reported hate crimes increased by 7%, from 3,355 incidents in 2021 to 3,576 in 2022, following a 72% increase between 2019 and 2021. These incidents, which primarily target Muslim, Jewish, and Black populations, remain above the ten-year average

Achieving Equitable Vaccinations for Newcomer Families

As seen with the COVID-19 global pandemic, vaccine access can be difficult among the most vulnerable populations in Canada. This includes the experiences of newcomers, both immigrants and refugees. Many barriers and accessibility challenges can potentially exist for newcomer families.

Join us on Dec. 11, 2024 from 1-2pm EST as we discuss methods to reducing barriers to accessing healthcare services among newcomer children and families in Canada.

The following learning objectives will be examined:

-          Explore the accessibility barriers that exist for vaccinations services among newcomer families

-          Gain knowledge and insight on strategy development to reduce barriers to vaccine services for newcomers.

-          Assess the work that can be done by healthcare professionals in one’s own practice when working with newcomer families
