Community Partnership Council (CPC)
Statement of Purpose: The Community Partnership Council (CPC) is an inclusive and broad-based council that is representative of the community of Lethbridge and surrounding area. Members include volunteers and stakeholders from many different employment, service and social sectors.
The membership seeks to gain awareness of the needs of newcomers in the community and collaborate on developing community plans and other solutions to address existing service gaps and leverage available community resources to support newcomer outcomes.
The Community Partnership Council is the main decision-making body of the Lethbridge Local Immigration Partnership (LLIP) and its associated working groups. This group sets goals and outcomes for the working groups and develops a framework for their action plans.
