Interesting Ideas and Good Practices at Immigrant-Serving Agencies
ISAP Program Review
RealWorld Systems sought examples of successful approaches for meeting the needs of clients and organizations in the settlement sector at various stages of the ISAP program review. Different stakeholders in the process commented on excellence in programs, services, and agencies. These included successful services and interesting programming, innovative policies, and good practice.
These ideas provide a perspective on potential improved practices for the settlement sector. Since most of them have not been examined critically or evaluated for effectiveness, we cannot call them ‘best practices’ at this point. Further research is required to understand how and whether broader implementation and sharing is valid.

The Great Social Transformation: Implications For The Social Role of Government in Ontario
This paper was commissioned in the Spring of 2002 by the Panel on the Role of Government, chaired by Ron Daniels, Dean of the University of Toronto Law School. It was one of a number of papers designed to set the scene for the Panel's research program and consultations with the people of Ontario. It therefore provides a very broad survey of the way in which the patterns of family, work and community life of the people of Ontario have been transformed in recent decades.
