Building Communities Resilient to Crime, Disasters and Violent Extremism

Undertaking a Risk Assessment and Management (RAM) approach to mapping the issue of community resilience, these authors attempt to outline a course of action that will better position communities to cope with the challenges, as well as build on the strengths, associated with diversity and immigration.  Recognizing that diversity implies a unique process for every community, this paper argues that it is possible to identify common characteristics in the effort to build resilient communities and outlines a number of concrete steps in achieving communities resilient to threats such as crime, disasters and violent extremism.

The Canadian economy is now deep in recession. What we don't know is how long and how deep this recession will be and what impact it will have on immigration to Canada and upon immigrants now here. We asked our Metropolis experts for their opinion on the impact of the recession on permanent and temporary migration flows to Canada, on return migration trends, and on the economic integration of recent immigrants (less than 5 years) in the Canadian labour market. Can we expect to see trends similar to those of the early 90s recession? How will Canada's experience compare to that of the US, whose immigration levels have dropped in the last year?
