Welcoming and Inclusive New Westminster (WINS)

Local Immigration Partnerships (LIPs) bring together various sectors within the community to address the needs of immigrants and refugees. In New Westminster, the Local Immigration Partnership Council is called Welcoming and Inclusive New West (WINS) Local Immigration Partnership.

WINS is a collaboration of community members, local agencies, and organizations working together since 2007 to address issues faced by newcomers. Partners come from the municipal government, sectors such as education, health, settlement, employment, and social services, as well as interested community members.
