Ontario receives the majority of newcomers to Canada, and its cities are a locus of diversity. Recognizing that the building and sustenance of "welcoming communities" is as much a local project as a national and provincial one, this volume explores the activities of municipal governments in Ontario as well as those of a number of other important "social forces" situated at the local level. Twelve city case studies are guided by a common template to facilitate comparisons and allow for an overall mapping of the players and a better estimation of the investments -- human and financial - that...

Contributors bring the insights of feminist analysis to bear on three relationships central to popular and policy discussions in contemporary Canada and beyond: gender and nation, gender and state processes, and gender and...

La gouvernance communautaire, comme la gouvernance publique et privee, doit innover, et apprendre de maniere continue a faire mieux en faisant autrement. Or, cela ne peut se faire que grace a la collaboration, et celle-ci va prendre des formes diverses selon le milieu. L'innovation sociale adopte aussi des formes differentes en divers points d'un pays comme le Canada fait de societes distinctes par la langue, la culture et les arrangements institutionnels.
