BackgroundOntario is a diverse society with a rich immigration history. Ontario’s diverse population enriches our society through cultural exchange, global connections, and innovation. At the same time, some newcomers and ethno-cultural communities face barriers and obstacles to full participation in the civic, cultural, social, and economic life of the province. The Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration (the Ministry) promotes the social and economic benefits of immigration in Ontario and helps build stronger communities through activities focused on greater citizen participation. The Ministry wants to help build diverse and inclusive communities where everyone can participate and prosper. To complement our existing programs and services for newcomers, the Ministry is launching a new grant program that will help improve civic and community engagement. The Ministry has committed certain fund in 2017-18 for the Multicultural Community Capacity Program.
