Immigrant Services Society of BC AGM | September 18, 2008

I will be giving the keynote address for the Immigrant Services Society of British Columbia Annual General Meeting.

Immigrant Services Society of BC (ISS) was incorporated in 1972 as the first immigrant-serving agency in the province. Since that time, ISS has grown to be the largest, multicultural, immigrant-serving agency in western Canada. The society provides a variety of services to Lower Mainland immigrant and refugee communities, and works with over 23,000 clients per year. ISS has a volunteer Board of Directors, a paid staff of over 200 and over 600 active volunteers.

Statement of Purpose

We will achieve our Mission by:
