Before I get to the exciting news, on behalf of Ontario Immigrant Network and the communities that we serve, I need to say this: Thank You Libro Credit Union – for selecting OIN from a long-list of very worthy causes, and for recognizing the role that you can play in a very important issue: financial literacy and entrepreneurship for both Canadian and newcomer youth.

In early 2015, the OIN team wanted to find new ways to serve communities and populations in need in a lean, sustainable manner. Many ideas were discussed, and above all it was important to build on the expertise that OIN has been building since 2009. As discussion continued, we finally landed on the FLY (Financial Literacy for Youth) App. Technology is not new to OIN, but a project like this did require some new key partners to make sure that it would be successful.

Entrepreneurship in Sarnia Lambton is booming. The area has thousands of entrepreneurial businesses. This is something that we in Sarnia Lambton often forget and something that those outside the area simply don’t know about. Entrepreneurs are everywhere in Sarnia Lambton. They are in agriculture and industry. They are in services and sales. They are young and old. They are creative. The diversity of the entrepreneur community reflects the diversity of the Sarnia Lambton economy.

Welcome to the new www.oinweb.ca (opens in a new tab)

Our new website – www.oinweb.ca (opens in a new tab) – has been revamped to better reflect our desire to better support our goal of connecting immigrant entrepreneurs to business succession opportunities. By working with key stakeholders, we aim to make rural communities sustainable by helping them to attract and retain immigrant entrepreneurs. This goal represents the culmination of 18 months of research under a Labour Market Partnership, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
