Welcome to 5EO

The Five Eastern Counties; Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Prescott Russell welcome you to our Local Immigration Partnership website!

Throughout 2011 the Five Eastern Counties L.I.P. surveyed immigrants, community agencies, local businesses and political leaders on the subject of immigration. The goal of this process was to obtain an accurate assessment of the strengths and challenges in our area and develop a strategy to work together to overcome the challenges, strengthen the weaknesses and promote a welcoming atmosphere for newcomers.
