Ontario Arab Communities Project

In July 2007, NCCAR and the Ontario Trillium Foundation reached an agreement to create a network of organizations to serve the Arab-Canadian communities in Ontario by June of 2008.

The network seeks to improve awareness amongst Arab-Canadians of services available to them, of organizations that provide these services, and to increase Arab-Canadian participation in these programs. 

The project will also enable community organizations to build links, strengthen their bases, facilitate the flow of information amongst them and enhance their capabilities for better representation and greater visibility of Arab-Canadians within Ontario

Another goal of this project is to help Arab-Canadian communities build and strengthen bridges amongst their constitutive elements, regardless of their religious, political or social affiliation.  

Objective

The Ontario Arab Communities Project is a Non-Political initiative that focuses on the capacity building of Arab-Canadian Organizations within the Ontario Community. 

The project aims to improve communication and understanding among organizations by facilitating discussion on goals, objectives, and direction. It will further empower them, and help them be more efficient by increasing their awareness of services and resources available within their communities. The project will also look to attract and recruit more volunteers within the community groups. 

 

Activities

 

NCCAR will inform organizations about this new project, obtain their feedback and gather their support.  It will organize regional meetings to develop a framework for the network's structure, coordination and communication of the programs and services.
