Community Dialogues
Looking In – Reaching Out was a collaborative project aimed at opening up dialogue and establishing Burnaby as welcoming and inclusive community for new immigrants.
A series of three broad-based community forums brought together long-time residents, newcomers, businesses, First Nations, government representatives, service providers and others to share their expertise and experiences.
One goal of the talks was to produce a forward-thinking report, as well as visual and narrative profiles of individuals contributing to our cultural diversity. These publications were distributed to BIPT members and a wide range of community stakeholders. They are also available below.
