This report reflects the commitment of individuals and organizations in the Guelph Wellington community including the LIP Council (leadership group to the project), and the Guelph Inclusiveness Alliance (a coalition of organizations and individuals that have served as the project’s Advisory Group). In total approximately 375 individuals have participated in the GW-LIP project to-date. Many involved in the project are new to Canada or have lived the immigrant experience. All individuals have contributed to the goal of creating sustainable solutions for the successful social and economic integration of newcomers to Guelph Wellington. As project sponsor and convener of the GW-LIP Phase 1, the City of Guelph and the LIP Council have approached the development of a Settlement Strategy within the context of: A Holistic Strategy “A strategy for all - a strategy that benefits everyone” Consultation Participant A Strategy That Builds on Existing Capacity “. not an emptiness to be filled but a fullness to be discovered.” GIA Member A Commitment to Meaningful Ongoing Community Engagement. “. an opportunity and a need to ready the soil. ” LIP Council Member 3 | P a g e Section 1.2 Background Guelph Wellington LIP Deliverables Funded through Citizenship and Immigration Canada, deliverables of this project are: 1) Establishment of a LIP Partnership Council; and 2) Development of a Guelph Wellington Settlement Strategy.

A series of meetings with the Council, interspersed with broad-based community consultations have been scheduled from May 2010 through to September 2010. The goals of the meetings are to: 1. Identify needs and gaps related to immigrant/newcomer settlement and integration which would lead to directions for change in Guelph-Wellington; 2. Identify the strengths and assets existing in the Guelph-Wellington community on which to build a strategy; 3. Set priorities for future Council and community action; 4. Develop Strategic Directions and Action Strategies related to each priority need/gap 5. Detail the Action Strategies as to specific activities, indications of success, timelines and responsibilities; 6. Prepare a final Strategy for submission to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for consideration of Phase 2 support to the Guelph-Wellington LIP. The commitment to CIC includes this Interim Report which covers items 1 through 4 above. Identifying Needs/Gaps and Setting Priorities The strategy development phase builds on the GW – LIP Literature Review (Appendix B), Environment Scan/Inventory of Services (Appendix C) and the Winter 2009 Ethnocultural Community Consultations (Appendix D), hosted in the initial stages of the project. The CCBR Team received information to discern identified settlement/integration needs and gaps. Four major priority areas emerged with corresponding identified needs/gaps: Community Services and Programs English Language Training Employment Community Integration/Inclusion At the May LIP Council meeting, needs and gaps in each area were clarified, changed and/or enhanced. Council members then identified the top five or six needs/gaps in 6 | P a g e each area. Please see Appendix E for the full rankings by the LIP Council of all needs and gaps in each area. The priorities identified by Council were then taken to the May community consultation for further clarification, further prioritization and to discuss examples of why the priorities were important, as observed by or lived by participants in the consultation. The following list shows the results of this work. Note that, while three priorities were identified in each area (See Appendix F), it was determined by the Council that Strategic Directions would be developed for only two in each area. It was emphasized that the remaining priorities, indeed all identified needs and gaps, could be considered in the future by the Council. GW-LIP PRIORITIES COMMUNITY SERVICES/PROGRAMS 1. Increased coordination and partnerships in all service sectors, focused on immigrant settlement/integration. 2. Access to/ understanding of health care and education systems ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAINING 1. Employment related English language programs 2. Transportation to English language programs EMPLOYMENT 1. Education/training opportunities that build on immigrants’ education/ training/ experience 2. Employment services that are responsive to both employers and immigrants/newcomers needs COMMUNITY INTEGRATION/INCLUSION 1. Increased efforts by municipal governments and other institutions to diversify their workplaces and to reflect the diversity of the community in their publications, websites, etc. 2. Host/friendship programs for pairing established residents/families with newcomers 7 | P a g e Building on Community Strengths & Capacities Supporting the spirit of building on community capacity and upon further reflection of the community assets as identified in the GW-LIP Environmental Scan, the LIP Council developed a general list of strengths within Guelph-Wellington as a foundation for strategy development discussions. • Education systems (strong school boards, a lot of educators, universities, colleges, including University of Guelph) • We are a small community and it is easy to know the leaders of other community services and involve them to build linkages and partnerships • Meeting needs on one-to-one basis; referrals are easy • Willingness to work together to solve problems • Leaders are supportive of the LIP Council agenda; Economic Development Strategy is a strong indicator that there is recognition of this issue (leaders’ buy in) • Guelph has history of having immigrants; it’s not a new phenomenon to Guelph (and to lesser extent in Wellington County) • City has high number of volunteers working to engage

    An Armorial Mystery The Origin and History of the Armorial Achievement of the City of Guelph, Ontario, used by the City Corporation before 1978 DARREL E. KENNEDY B.Math. (Wat.), B.Ed. (Queen’s), L.R.H.S.C., F.R.H.S.C., F.S.A. Scot., Hon. F.H.S. Assiniboine Herald of Arms, Canadian Heraldic Authority 1. Introduction On 27 September 1978, Dr. Conrad Swan, York Herald, delivered Letters Patent dated 8 May 1978 to Mayor Norman Jary of the City of Guelph on behalf of his colleague A. Colin Cole, Windsor Herald, that contained a grant to the city of lawful armorial bearings (Figure 1) by Garter Principal King of Arms and his fellow Kings of Arms at the College of Arms, London England. Guelph is a municipality that was founded in an outdoor recorded ceremony by John Galt on St. George’s day, 23 April 1827, on land belonging to the Canada Company. Writing in his autobiography, he reports that he chose the name ‘Guelph’ ‘in compliment to the Royal Family, both because I thought it auspicious in itself, and because I could not recollect that it had ever been before used in the king’s dominions’.1 At this time, George IV was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as King of Hanover.2 While this report is interested in the armorial emblems of Guelph and the House of Hanover, and a lengthy discourse on dynastic history is beyond its scope, other writers have explained their relationships.3 In 1851, the village was incorporated, in 1855 it became a town, and in 1879, it became a city.4 Since then, on the 1 John GALT, Autobiography (London, 1833) Vol.
