HAMILTON CULTURE OF PEACE NETWORK

Settlement and Integration Services Organization (SISO) 

Settlement and Integration Services Organization (SISO) is an anti-racist, community-based, client-centered organization, which provides a wide range of culturally sensitive, linguistically appropriate professional essential settlement, integration and employment related services and programs, to facilitate and support early settlement and successful integration of a diverse population of immigrant and refugee communities in the city of Hamilton. The work of SISO is fundamentally about breaking down barriers, which often prevent immigrants and refugees from reaching their potential to fully participate in the social, economic, political and cultural life of Canadian society and contribute to the country’s prosperity and growth.
