INTRODUCTION

A. Background

South Asians refer to people from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and people from the South Asian Diaspora. In 2011, there were 1,567,400 South Asian people living in Canada* representing 4.8% of Canada’s total population. In Ontario, South Asians comprise 965,990 people, or 7.6% of the total provincial population of 12,651,795. In 2011, there were 356,430 South Asian people living in Peel Region. They represented 27.7% of the total Peel population and 48.6% of the total visible minority population in Peel.

The South Asian population in Peel is growing at a faster rate than the Peel population as a whole. Between 2006 and 2011, Peel’s total population grew from 1,154,070 to 1,289,015 representing a growth rate of 11.7%. However, Peel’s South Asian population exceeded that growth rate, increasing from 272,690 in 2006 to 356,430 by 2011 (a growth rate of 30.7%).

In Peel Region both the largest population and highest concentration of South Asians is in Brampton. As of 2011, the South Asian population in Brampton was 200,220 versus 154,210 in Mississauga and 1,995 in Caledon. In addition, South Asians comprise 38.4% of the total population in Brampton versus 21.8% in Mississauga and only 3.4% in Caledon.

Diabetes Among South Asians

This inventory is part of an exploratory study of diabetes among South Asians in Peel. Diabetes is a considerable health concern for the South Asian population. South Asians are more likely to develop diabetes, particularly Type 2, and more likely to develop it earlier on in life as compared to the general population. Women and immigrants of South Asian background may be of highest risk. Furthermore, due to language and cultural barriers, South Asians may encounter difficulties in accessing health care services, and they tend to be poorer at managing their diabetes. This puts them at greater risk of health complications (Muirhead, 2015).

B. Purpose of the Inventory

The purpose of the inventory is to provide workers in Peel’s human services sector with information about organizations that are focused on serving the South Asian community in Peel. The inventory can be used as a source for referrals to South Asian organizations, networking among human service workers in Peel, and collaboration between South organizations and other organizations (e.g., those providing diabetes related services, hospital & health care organizations, etc.) in Peel.

* All population figures used in this report are for residents in private household only.

C. Methodology

Data Sources

A variety of data sources were consulted to gather data for this report including:

 An Inventory of Different Types of Settlement Services in Peel Region, 2010  An Inventory of Human Service Organizations Serving the Sri Lankan Community in Peel Region, 2008  An Inventory of Settlement Services in Peel, 2013 (rev.)  Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Charities Listings  Council of Agencies Serving South Asians, Service Directory  Peel Information Network, Ontario, Canada (PINET)  Region of Peel Website  Settlement.org  211 Ontario  Consultation with agencies or agency websites

Primary Sample

A survey of the above data sources provided information on the following types of agencies:

 South Asian-focused organizations in Peel (n = 16) †  Mainstream agencies with specific services for the South Asian community (n = 5) ‡

In addition to these agencies, a list of some religious/spiritual organizations (n = 33) and a list of media in that may be of interest to those in the South Asian community in Peel have been included.

† South Asian-focused agencies are organizations that are focused primarily on serving members of the South Asian community. ‡ Mainstream agencies are organizations that are focused on serving the general population, including newcomers to Canada and all ethnic groups in Canada. Some of them offer services that are geared to specific visible minority groups, in addition to their regular offering of services for the general population. In contrast, multi-ethnic and newcomer agencies specifically focus on ethno-specific groups and newcomers to Canada.

Related Organizations

Given the focus of the project on diabetes among South Asians in Peel, the inventory includes contact information for diabetes-focused organizations and those providing diabetes-related services (45). Also included in the inventory are twenty-eight (28) multi-ethnic/newcomer agencies, five (5) neighbourhood/community centres, twenty-one (21) hospital/health care organizations, and fifty-six (56) mainstream human service organizations.

 Diabetes Focused Agencies/Organizations Providing Diabetes-Related Services (n = 45) o 4 Diabetes Focused Agencies o 21 Agencies Offering Diabetes Education Programs or Other Diabetes Services o 20 Pharmacies Offering Diabetes Related Services  Multi-Ethnic/Newcomer Agencies (n = 28)  Neighbourhood/Community Centres (n = 5)  Hospital/Health Care Organizations (n = 21)  Mainstream Agencies (n = 56)

D. Intended Audiences for the Report

The report has been written primarily for agencies serving South Asians in Peel in order to allow for collaboration with and referral to other agencies, particularly those offering diabetes related services. The report is also targeted at mainstream social service organizations and charitable organizations in Peel who are expected to serve all groups in Peel and who can use the information on services for South Asian people for the purposes of service planning, referrals, community outreach, etc.

E. Limitations of the Inventory

The inventory is dependent upon the quality of information provided by the agencies in their descriptions of themselves and their services. This was a challenge for the researchers because the agency descriptions varied in terms of structure, comprehensiveness of content, and quality of writing. Moreover, some of the descriptions included contact information and some did not.

This report provides a description of the organizational size and scope (services offered) of the agencies that are focused on serving the South Asian community, and the basic organizational characteristics of those agencies. It does not provide “perceptions” of their organizational capacity, quality of their services, satisfaction with their services, and other perceptions of the agencies.

The information collected was retrieved from the aforementioned sources (See Page 3). As not every agency was contacted directly to verify their information provided online, some information may not be completely up to date. In addition, due to the nature of the data collection, some agencies may have been missed (especially if they have no or limited information available online).

It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive inventory of every single service available to South Asians in Peel, but rather an exploratory study that seeks to provide information on some of the main agencies serving South Asians and ease collaboration and service planning amongst these groups.

D. Potential Gaps in Services for the South Asian Community in Peel

Agencies Serving South Asians

As of 2011, the South Asian population in Brampton (200,220) was higher than the South Asian population in Mississauga (154,210) and growing at a faster rate (46.5% versus 14.5% respectively from 2006 to 2011). However, fourteen (14) of the twenty-two (22) South Asian agency locations (63.6%) were in Mississauga while only eight (8) South Asian agency locations (36.4%) were in Brampton. Furthermore, examining the South Asian agencies as a whole, of the sixteen (16) agencies thirteen (13) had locations in Mississauga, but only five (5) had locations in Brampton. Overall, it appears that availability of South Asian agencies is not proportionate to the number of South Asians living in these cities.

Looking more closely, at individual FSAs, there were no agencies focused on serving South Asians in 18 out of the 32 areas (L4Y, L5E, L5G, L5H, L5J, L5K, L5M, L5N, L5W, L5V, L6P, L6V, L6X, L6Y, L6Z, L7C, L7E or L7K). Of particular importance for services may be the areas of L5M, L5N, L5V, L6P and L6Y, which all have South Asian populations over 10,000.

FSA Description South Asian Population L6Y South Brampton 27,990 L5M Churchill Meadows/Central Erin Mills/South Streetsville 18,360 L6P North Brampton (Gore) 16,990 L5V East Credit 13,955 L5N Lisgar/Meadowvale 13,715

In terms of services provided, none of the South Asian agencies surveyed appeared to offer services relating to credit counseling or accreditation. Services such as transportation and childcare were only offered by one agency each.

Diabetes Related Services

Considering the agencies gathered through the Peel Information Network, there appears to be no organizations providing diabetes related services in the areas of L4Z, L5L, L5W, L5K, L5G and L5E. A few of these areas have fairly substantial South Asian populations as well.
