Title Border Issues - Immigration, Migration and Urban Resettlement Day / Time Tuesday, June 20th / 16:30 - 18:30 Room Oceanview 7/8 Event Description Border, immigration, and resettlement issues are a major concern for many urban and rural communities in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Many border communities are experiencing a rapid influx of immigrants from all parts of the world and do not have the adequate resources to provide a social net of housing, health, and quality of life services. The rapid urbanization in border communities is a sensitive issue as the U.S. begins a debate on immigration reform, and Canada tries to reconcile intra-border issues with larger aboriginal land claims and rights issues. This session will provide a forum for world leaders to discuss strategies foundations are engaged in to address these concerns in different contexts such as the creation of border philanthropy, cross-border, non-profit and governmental collaboration, and cross border research which has resulted in new approaches and solutions to this issue.
