Changing Faces - Profile of Oakville Newcomers

The United Way of Oakville partnered with Community Development Halton to form a better understanding of the recent immigrant population in Oakville. Over 6,800 foreign-born individuals moved to the Town Of Oakville between 2001 and 2006. This report presents population data that will allow organizations to respond to and embrace the growing diversity in Oakville. Major socio-economic characteristics, such as place of birth, age, language, education, employment and income are highlighted and compared with the general population.

Electronic copies of this report are available from Community Development Halton and online at www.cdhalton.ca/pdf/Oakville-Newcomers-Profile-FINAL.pdf
