Immigrant Advisory Table
A volunteer-led group providing insights to help shape a more inclusive Calgary.
About the IAT
The Immigrant Advisory Table (IAT) is made up of volunteer community members from Calgary’s immigrant population. Members bring a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, education levels, and lived experiences.
Together, they provide valuable insights that help inform City and community initiatives, policies, and projects, contributing to a more welcoming and inclusive Calgary for everyone.
Our Commitment to Diversity
The Calgary Local Immigration Partnership (CLIP) works to ensure the IAT reflects the diversity within Calgary’s immigrant communities. CLIP is committed to equitable and inclusive recruitment practices that strengthen representation at the table.
