HISTORY
2008
En 2008 une dizaine d’organismes travaillant dans le quartier Notre-Dame-de-Grâce se sont réunis autour de la problématique de la pleine participation socioéconomique des personnes immigrantes et des communautés ethnoculturelles du quartier.

2009
In order to clarify initiatives and lines of actions, in 2009 the NDG Intercultural Table initiated a preliminary research among the population of the borough.
Through various organizations working in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, over 100 members of cultural communities NDG and social workers have identified the major challenges of the integration of immigrants in NDG.
Afin de préciser des initiatives et des lignes d’action, en 2009, la TINDG a initié une recherche préliminaire auprès de la population de l’arrondissement. À travers différents organismes oeuvrant à Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, plus de 100 membres des communautés culturelles de NDG et travailleurs sociaux ont identifié les défis majeurs de l’intégration des personnes immigrantes à NDG.
2010
Subsequently, in 2010 the TINDG organized a series of discussion groups that provided an opportunity for newcomers to speak in depth, giving their opinion on this issue. The action plan of the TINDG is the result of a process of consultation and deliberation. It creates a common place or agencies, institutions and ethnocultural communities working together to promote the integration of immigrants in NDG.
Par la suite, en 2010 la TINDG a organisé une série de groupes de discussions qui ont donné la possibilité aux nouveaux arrivants de s’exprimer en profondeur, en donnant leur avis sur cette problématique. Le plan d’action de la TINDG est le résultat d’un processus de consultation et de délibération. Il crée un lieu commun ou les organismes, les institutions et les communautés ethnoculturelles travaillent ensemble pour favoriser l’intégration des personnes immigrantes à NDG.
