Bridging Newcomers in the Neighbourhood Scale : A Study on Settlement/Integration Roles and Functions of Neighbourhood Houses in Vancouver : Final Report Yan, Miu Chung; Lauer, Sean

Abstract

A legacy of the Settlement House Movement, neighbourhood houses (NHs) have been part of the history of immigration in Vancouver, one of Canada’s three major immigrant settlement locations, for more than 70 years. This study investigates the roles and functions of NHs in bridging newcomers to the community. Bridging is conceptually understood in this study as a form of social capital with two different natures: bonding (within a given group) and bridging (between different groups).
