Enhancing NB Francophone Newcomer Settlement Services

The Multicultural Council of New Brunswick Inc. (NBMC) supports the efforts of all its established and emerging member ethno-cultural, multicultural associations and immigrant-serving agencies to improve settlement services and better serve French-speaking newcomers in their host communities.

NBMC works closely with the Francophone ethno-cultural / multicultural associations and immigrant-serving agencies to increase their capacity to meet the needs of Francophone newcomers in rural areas by strengthening the existing services and bilingual programs.

 Specifically, NBMC:

• Offers organizational development templates for operational, human resource and Board development materials, including internal policies, and constitutions in both official languages
• Provides access to appropriate strategies for capacity building bilingual training focused on professional development,  technical skills and sharing best practices
• Assists in the development of bilingual assessment procedures to measure both short and long term effectiveness of organizational capacity building endeavours
• Coordinates access to channels of consultation with all stakeholders
• Supports public education community campaigns that serve to raise awareness of the richness and Francophone culture
