POLICY MATTERS NO.12 Ethnoracial Diversity and Planning Practices in the Greater Toronto Area: Final Report By Beth Moore Milroy and Marcia Wallace
This report examines if, and how, ethnoracial diversity is acknowledged in planning practices in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It looks at the activities of urban planners in 25 municipalities of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The study’s premise is that planners work in the public interest. Public interest cannot be taken for granted, and certainly not in the presence of ethnoracial diversity. Ethnoracial diversity brings to light some culturally specific assumptions embedded in the planning practice. The public interest entails striving for equity in plans. Planners must figure out what is equitable and in the public interest when it comes to ethnoracial diversity in municipal planning. The findings/discussions are grouped into four themes: information; public participation; planning outcomes; and policy. The report concludes with some recommendations.
The paper is available in PDF format on the “What’s New” section of our website, or click http://ceris.metropolis.net/PolicyMatter/PolicyMatters_contents.htm.

************ CERIS SEMINARS ***************
IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST: IMMIGRANT ACCESS TO REGULATED PROFESSIONS IN TODAY'S ONTARIO Date: Friday, November 5, 2004 12:00 – 2:00
Presenter: Faviola Fernandez, Project Coordinator Policy Roundtable Mobilizing Professions and Trades (PROMPT)
This policy paper summarizes the findings of a nine month research study. While the paper does consider the concept of regulation broadly, the primary focus is on the registration component of the regulatory process (i.e. gaining access to regulated professions). As well as providing a historical context for occupational regulation in Ontario and a systemic analysis of the barriers faced by internationally educated professionals, the paper highlights the legal obligation of regulators to ensure systemic barriers do not exist and proposes principles, values and mechanisms to strengthen the accountability of the registration process. The paper outlines the urgency for making changes in how we regulate professions in Ontario. The study adds the perspective of internationally educated professionals to the growing discussion in Ontario about access to professions. The intent is to move towards a system of registration that equitably regulates professions in the interest of today’s public.
Location: Room 548, 246 Bloor St. West, Toronto (St. George Subway Station, Bedford Road Exit)

CULTURE BROKERING IN THE HEALTH AND REHABILITATION SERVICES Date: Thursday, November 18, 2004 12:00 – 2:00
Presenter: John Stone, Ph.D., Director, Center for International Rehabilitation Research Information and Exchange (CIRRIE) University at Buffalo, State University of New York
Moderator: Dr. Nazilla Khanlou, CERIS Health Domain Leader
High immigration rates in the U.S. and Canada have resulted in cultural differences between the recipients of health services and those who provide such services. In the field of rehabilitation, culture influences attitudes towards disability and can affect communication between service providers and consumers. This presentation will discuss why some persons with disabilities from immigrant groups may find it difficult to identify with many of the cultural values and practices they encounter in the health services. It will also present “culture brokering” as a problem solving model, a process of mediating between the culture of the immigrant and the culture of the host country, as well as the culture of the service system itself.
Location: Room 548, 246 Bloor St. West, Toronto (St. George Subway Station, Bedford Road Exit)

In November, 2004 STATUS will assemble the various stakeholders, labour and faith leadership, immigration and refugee rights advocates, settlement service providers, as well as non-status immigrants themselves, in order to arrive at a consensus on a proposal for regularization, and a strategy for achieving it. At the end of the day, STATUS hopes to reach an agreement around a fair and equitable mechanism for regularization.

Organized Migrant Smuggling and State Control: Conceptual and Policy Challenges Journal of International Migration and Integration (JIMI) Volume 5 No.3 Guest edited by Drs. Jeroen Doomernik and David J. Kyle
In the wake of the globalization process, the international mobility of persons has become faster and cheaper then ever before. To a large extent this mobility remains an orderly process. This we can conceive as a beneficial and direct consequence of globalization. It would appear, however, that the process also has a considerable capacity to uproot people in a number of other ways—an indirect consequence of globalization. Most states of (potential) resettlement have limited room for unsolicited immigrants and they tend to view their arrival with mixed, if not negative feelings. To “stem the flows” of such immigrants, receiving states increasingly guard their borders, impose visa restrictions for and devise a whole range of other measures. Such regulations are not as effective as hoped for. To a significant extent this is the result of the emergence of a new type of entrepreneur: the human smuggler who assists prospective migrants in crossing international borders. This issue explores the social complexities of understanding the recent rise in migrant smuggling and human trafficking.

Public participation is now recognized as a crucial component in a variety of fields including health, housing, community economic development, transportation and more. Often this means the involvement of multiple stakeholders, including non-profits, which must relate to both the community and to government, forming an organization of organizations, or a group of groups that come together to collaborate. While stakeholders are often pleased to participate, they often face the awkward problem of not really knowing how to do so most effectively.
