About the Symposium
The symposium gathered 100 women’s service providers,
funders, and government bureaucrats together to discuss
the implications and the opportunities available through
the new Canada-Ontario Labour Market Development Agreement
(LMDA) and the Labour Market Partnership Agreement (LMPA).
The focus of the symposium was:
- To provide information about the LMDA and LMPA to women’s
service providers in Ontario. The information included:
- background material
on the agreements;
- the impacts of LMDAs in other provinces on women’s
training and employment services, and women’s access
to services;
- an analysis of Ontario’s LMDA and LMPA;
- the potential impacts on, and opportunities for, women’s
services here in the province.
- To build the capacity of women’s service providers
to integrate a holistic framework into their program planning,
ensuring that agencies are better-equipped to articulate
their service delivery needs in the newly-devolved context.
The professional development sessions explored the sustainable
livelihoods framework, providing agencies with concrete
and proactive strategies that will more fully serve women
as these new agreements are implemented.
