The BCSIS Provincial Virtual Summit took place on February 24 and 25, 2021. The Summit provided a meeting, learning, and sharing event, inclusive of all levels, from those on the front lines of service delivery to executive. Sessions reflected BCSIS service providers’ professional development needs and priorities, with a wide range of experts from within and beyond the settlement sector. Each session addressed issues and topics of immediate relevance and long-term significance in providing supports for newcomers. The Summit provided valuable knowledge during a challenging time for service delivery.
