Book Description
In both Canada and Australia the provision and financing of services and programmes arising from high levels of immigration issues involve federal, state / provincial and municipal levels of government. National governments manage immigration but the impacts are expressed sub-nationally, so there is an on-going process of negotiation between national and state / provincial governments over who pays for the services and programmes needed by immigrants. At the local level, the same types of issues arise. This paper focuses on municipal services in Sydney and Vancouver and through survey research addresses the success with which local government has initiated multicultural planning in response to cultural diversity across its range of functions. We ask, how multiculturally ready are local governments in the two metropolitan areas to serve their diverse populations?
