Regionalization BC 2008 : Regionalization British Columbia 2008

11 Aug 2009

Crucial to the nation’s growth, immigra- tion helps define and distinguish Canadian culture, supports the health of the economy, and comprises the better part of population increase in Canada each year. [...] The overall goal of this project is to develop a better understanding of the complexity of regionalization in British Columbia (BC) and to develop rec- ommendations and opportunities for community-based solutions to attract and retain immigrants. [...] Immigrant settlement patterns in BC help to polarize the demographic, economic, and cultural differences between the metropolitan area of Vancouver and less populated centres in the rest of the province. [...] According to Peake and Ray (2001), concentrated immigration has led to the highly urban char- acter of the distribution of people of colour, and therefore sensitivity to racism and the normalization of “mainstream” society is not part of the everyday lives MBC:. [...] Transnationalism is a useful lens through which to study the interplay of local and global processes in the settlement process and the dynamic nature of population change through forced and voluntary migration (Nolin 2006).
