VLIP and Vancity Host Stakeholder Social and Council Meeting​


On July 10, VLIP, in collaboration with Vancity, hosted a Stakeholder Social and Council Meeting at Vancity’s Head Office. The event offered a valuable platform for stakeholders to connect, explore shared priorities within the immigration and settlement sector, and strengthen relationships across both Anglophone and Francophone communities.

Attendees also had the opportunity to hear Vancity’s presentation, “Financial Services to Support the Financial Resilience of Newcomers.” The session showcased Vancity’s commitment to equitable access to financial advice and services, highlighting tailored banking products and programs such as the Newcomers Chequing Account, Newcomers Visa, Resettlement Assistance Program, Foreign Credential Recognition Loan Program, and financial literacy workshops.
The gathering transitioned into a Council meeting, where the VLIP team introduced new partner organizations.

A synopsis of VLIP’s Strategic Refresh was also presented, outlining emerging themes, key recommendations, and strategic directions for 2025–2028.

The meeting concluded with breakout sessions in strategic working groups, where participants collaboratively began developing action plans.
