Library Settlement Partnership (LSP)

Brampton Multicultural Centre is proud to announce a unique and innovative program called Library Settlement Partnership (LSP) launched in February 2009 by Minister Kenney at the Chinguacousy Library Branch. LSP is a three way partnership between Brampton Multicultural Community Centre, Brampton Library and Citizenship & Immigration Canada to support the settlement and integration of newcomers to Canada.

LSP Settlement Workers speak multiple languages and are formally trained on need assessment, counseling skills and group facilitation. They effectively determine and prioritize clients' needs and provide relevant referrals to resources and services available within the library as well as in the wider community. Each month hundreds of immigrants are served with information and resources on.

LSP is a reflection of BMC's commitment to providing quality service to the immigrant population for a better future! Our LSP workers are available at two locations, Chinguacousy and South Fletcher's branch seven days a week during library hours.

Our popular "English Communication Circle" series is held every week at both the Chinguacousy Library and South Fletcher's Library branches by BMC facilitators. Attendees are provided with information about schooling, parenting, Canadian workplace culture, banking, resume writing, and other issues such as getting rid of garbage the Canadian way.  It also gives newcomers a chance to improve their English language skills while enjoying tea and refreshments.
