SUMMARY:Virtual Information Session: Supporting Newcomers During Climate Emergencies
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, wildfires burnt 2.84 million hectares in BC\, resulting in the evacuation of thousands of residents.

SUMMARY:Online Media Event May 30th: A Collaborative Vision for Newcomer Integration in British Columbia
DESCRIPTION:An Opportunity to Develop Collaborative Solutions to Collective Problems \nDespite the ongoing debates regarding optimal immigration levels and strategy for Canada\, the economic and social well-being of communities nationwide are closely linked to the successful settlement outcomes of newcomers. \nAt this critical moment\, society is gaining momentum in exploring innovative measures to address challenges in affordability and public services. However\, the tendency among governments to treat immigrant settlement\, health\, and housing as separate policy areas risks missing opportunities to include newcomers\, especially those at the intersections of various marginalized identities. Collaboration across all levels of government and ministerial portfolios is crucial to link agendas and involve a wide range of partners in developing comprehensive initiatives that ensure inclusivity. \nImmigration benefits private sector entities not only by addressing labour shortages but also by the diversification of skills and perspectives\, fostering innovation and economic growth. \nSave the Date!  \nTo discuss these opportunities and more\, we cordially invite you to an online event on May 30 for the launch of AMSSA’s provincial engagement strategy report: “A Collaborative Vision for Newcomer Integration in British Columbia: Enhancing Partnerships in Immigration and Inclusive Community Development“. \nThis event will provide an in-depth look at the future of immigration in our province and the transformative potential of strategic collaboration. \nEvent Details \nWhat: Launch of the Provincial Engagement Strategy Report: A Collaborative Vision for Newcomer Integration in British Columbia \nDate: Thursday\, May 30\, 2024 \nTime: 09:30 AM \nLocation: Zoom | Event details will be sent after registration \n\n\n\n CLICK TO REGISTER\n\n\n\n  \nQuestions \nPlease email Anaïs Bénard at abenard@amssa.org. \nWe wish to acknowledge the land AMSSA is located on is the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish)\, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

SUMMARY:2-Part Webinar Series: Introduction to Privacy and Security for B.C.’s Settlement and Integration Sector
DESCRIPTION:Le français suit… \nThis is a 2-part webinar series. The first part will take place on May 8th and the second part will be held on May 14th. \nThose working in the Settlement and Integration sector often have access to sensitive client information including PR numbers\, addresses etc. as part of the supports provided. Accordingly\, knowing how to ensure client privacy and that the security of the information is maintained\, is crucial for mitigating risks for the organization\, both ethically and legally. \nWith many staff working in a hybrid manner\, a special attention needs to be paid to the principles of cybersecurity and data privacy when working remotely. The Settlement and Integration sector is not immune to potential data breaches\, where sensitive information is stolen. The consequences of these data breaches can have a huge impact on the client’s life in Canada\, that includes potential identity theft. \n  \nTo ensure that the B.C.’s Settlement and Integration Sector is well versed on ways to maintain privacy and security of client information\, and to mitigate the potential risks\, AMSSA is organizing this 2-part webinar series. \nSee below for webinar descriptions and registration links. Please ensure to register for both webinars\, as they will be covering different topics.  \n  \nIMPORTANT NOTE \nClient confidentiality\, privacy and security is a major part of the work that the settlement and integration sector undertakes. As such\, we strongly encourage all IRCC funded SPOs to attend and engage in this training.  \nREGISTRATION \nPart 1: Introduction to Data\, Privacy and Cybersecurity in the Settlement and Integration Sector \nDescription: This webinar will look at types of data handled in the Settlement and Integration sector providing techniques for securing sensitive information\, highlights case studies of standard operational principles as well as the consequences of data breaches. Additionally\, as many are working in a hybrid setting\, best practices for secure online behaviour and recognizing and mitigating common cyber threats will be discussed. \nDate: Wednesday\, May 8\, 2024 \nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Pacific Time) \nLocation: Zoom | Event details will be sent after registration \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nPart 2: Understanding the Legal Framework for Digital Security and Privacy in B.C. and Building Organizational and Institutional Policies for the Settlement and Integration Sector \nDescription: This webinar will look at the legal landscape when it comes to privacy and security in B.C.\, as well as the legal responsibilities of organizations and individuals. Additionally\, strategies and best practices to develop and implement data security policies\, integrate data security into existing organizational frameworks and establish protocols for incident response and reporting will be discussed.  \nDate: Tuesday\, May 14\, 2024 \nTime: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (Pacific Time) \nLocation: Zoom | Event details will be sent after registration \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nSPEAKER \nThis training will be presented by Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA). \nQUESTIONS? \nFor all other questions about the event\, email Sara Sehic at ssehic@amssa.org. \n  \nEnglish precedes… \nCette série de webinaires se déroulera en deux parties. La première partie aura lieu le 8 mai et la seconde le 14 mai. \nLors de la prestation de services de soutien\, les personnes qui œuvrent dans le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration ont souvent accès à de l’information sensible sur la clientèle\, comme à des numéros de carte de résident permanent\, à des adresses\, etc. Par conséquent\, il est essentiel pour les organismes de savoir comment assurer le respect de la vie privée et la sécurité des renseignements personnels de la clientèle afin d’atténuer les risques\, tant sur le plan éthique que juridique. \nMaintenant que bon nombre de personnes travaillent à distance et en mode hybride\, il est important d’accorder une attention particulière aux principes de cybersécurité et de confidentialité des données. Le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration n’est pas à l’abri d’évènements potentiels liés à la violation et au vol de données confidentielles. Les conséquences de telles violations de données peuvent avoir des répercussions majeures sur la vie des personnes au Canada\, dont l’usurpation d’identité. \nPour s’assurer que les acteurs du secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration de la Colombie-Britannique connaissent bien les moyens de préserver la confidentialité et la sécurité des renseignements sur la clientèle\, AMSSA organise ce webinaire en deux parties. \nVous trouverez ci-dessous les descriptions des webinaires et les liens pour vous y inscrire. \nAssurez-vous de vous inscrire aux deux webinaires\, car ils porteront sur des sujets différents.  \nREMARQUE IMPORTANTE \nLa confidentialité\, le respect de la vie privée et la sécurité de la clientèle sont des aspects importants du travail du secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration. C’est pourquoi nous encourageons vivement tous les fournisseurs de services financés par IRCC à participer à cette formation.  \nINSCRIPTION \n1re partie : Introduction à la protection de la vie privée et à la sécurité des données pour le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration en Colombie-Britannique \nDescription : Ce webinaire proposera des techniques pour assurer la sécurité de l’ensemble des données sensibles et confidentielles gérées par le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration. Il se penchera sur des études de cas portant sur les pratiques opérationnelles en vigueur et abordera les conséquences de la violation des données. De plus\, il présentera des pratiques exemplaires en matière de comportement en ligne sûr ainsi que sur la détection et l’atténuation des cybermenaces\, qui sont d’une grande utilité dans un contexte où bon nombre de personnes travaillent à distance et en mode hybride. \nDate : mercredi 8 mai 2024 \nHeure : 10 h à 12 h (heure du Pacifique) \nLieu : Zoom | Les détails de l’évènement seront envoyés après l’inscription. \nCLIQUEZ ICI POUR VOUS INSCRIRE \n2e partie : Comprendre le cadre juridique de la sécurité numérique et de la protection de la vie privée en Colombie-Britannique pour élaborer et mettre en place des politiques organisationnelles et institutionnelles dans le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration \nDescription : Ce webinaire se penchera sur le cadre juridique qui régit la protection de la vie privée et la sécurité en Colombie-Britannique\, ainsi que les responsabilités légales des organismes et des individus.

SUMMARY:2-Part Webinar Series: Introduction to Privacy and Security for B.C.’s Settlement and Integration Sector
DESCRIPTION:Le français suit… \nThis is a 2-part webinar series. The first part will take place on May 8th and the second part will be held on May 14th. \nThose working in the Settlement and Integration sector often have access to sensitive client information including PR numbers\, addresses etc. as part of the supports provided. Accordingly\, knowing how to ensure client privacy and that the security of the information is maintained\, is crucial for mitigating risks for the organization\, both ethically and legally. \nWith many staff working in a hybrid manner\, a special attention needs to be paid to the principles of cybersecurity and data privacy when working remotely. The Settlement and Integration sector is not immune to potential data breaches\, where sensitive information is stolen. The consequences of these data breaches can have a huge impact on the client’s life in Canada\, that includes potential identity theft. \n  \nTo ensure that the B.C.’s Settlement and Integration Sector is well versed on ways to maintain privacy and security of client information\, and to mitigate the potential risks\, AMSSA is organizing this 2-part webinar series. \nSee below for webinar descriptions and registration links. Please ensure to register for both webinars\, as they will be covering different topics.  \n  \nIMPORTANT NOTE \nClient confidentiality\, privacy and security is a major part of the work that the settlement and integration sector undertakes. As such\, we strongly encourage all IRCC funded SPOs to attend and engage in this training.  \nREGISTRATION \nPart 1: Introduction to Data\, Privacy and Cybersecurity in the Settlement and Integration Sector \nDescription: This webinar will look at types of data handled in the Settlement and Integration sector providing techniques for securing sensitive information\, highlights case studies of standard operational principles as well as the consequences of data breaches.

La première partie aura lieu le 8 mai et la seconde le 14 mai. \nLors de la prestation de services de soutien\, les personnes qui œuvrent dans le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration ont souvent accès à de l’information sensible sur la clientèle\, comme à des numéros de carte de résident permanent\, à des adresses\, etc. Par conséquent\, il est essentiel pour les organismes de savoir comment assurer le respect de la vie privée et la sécurité des renseignements personnels de la clientèle afin d’atténuer les risques\, tant sur le plan éthique que juridique. \nMaintenant que bon nombre de personnes travaillent à distance et en mode hybride\, il est important d’accorder une attention particulière aux principes de cybersécurité et de confidentialité des données. Le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration n’est pas à l’abri d’évènements potentiels liés à la violation et au vol de données confidentielles. Les conséquences de telles violations de données peuvent avoir des répercussions majeures sur la vie des personnes au Canada\, dont l’usurpation d’identité. \nPour s’assurer que les acteurs du secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration de la Colombie-Britannique connaissent bien les moyens de préserver la confidentialité et la sécurité des renseignements sur la clientèle\, AMSSA organise ce webinaire en deux parties. \nVous trouverez ci-dessous les descriptions des webinaires et les liens pour vous y inscrire. \nAssurez-vous de vous inscrire aux deux webinaires\, car ils porteront sur des sujets différents.  \nREMARQUE IMPORTANTE \nLa confidentialité\, le respect de la vie privée et la sécurité de la clientèle sont des aspects importants du travail du secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration. C’est pourquoi nous encourageons vivement tous les fournisseurs de services financés par IRCC à participer à cette formation.  \nINSCRIPTION \n1re partie : Introduction à la protection de la vie privée et à la sécurité des données pour le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration en Colombie-Britannique \nDescription : Ce webinaire proposera des techniques pour assurer la sécurité de l’ensemble des données sensibles et confidentielles gérées par le secteur de l’établissement et de l’intégration. Il se penchera sur des études de cas portant sur les pratiques opérationnelles en vigueur et abordera les conséquences de la violation des données.
