    LMLIP INFORMATION
    Leadership in Action

    The generosity of Londoners has been displayed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and many individuals and organizations have rallied in various ways, to help fight this increasingly devastating disease. The LMLIP Inclusion & Civic Engagement Sub-council reached out to London's immigrant population, to gather ‘leadership in action’ stories of how individuals are helping through frontline work or volunteering. Starting this week, we will be showcasing these stories, beginning with United Sikhs.

    Meetings with London professionals

    In August 2020, Brescia’s International Department partnered with the LMLIP Education Sub-Council to connect students with London professionals to learn one-on-one about various career opportunities and sectors within the Canadian workforce. Students who participated in the pilot program not only discovered more about working life in Canada, but also acquired practical communications skills and networking capabilities.
