HIPC Members
HIPC is a community table that seeks to create a seamless settlement experience for newcomers in Hamilton. With partners from various sectors – including settlement, education, business, health, social services, municipal affairs, and persons with lived immigration experience — we work together to create a welcoming community with relevant and accessible services.
