Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) Final Report

Funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the Local Immigration Partnership – or LIP – initiative encourages communities across Ontario to develop a comprehensive plan for the delivery of newcomer services.

It is a research investment to help communities put immigration on their planning and programming agendas and benefit from the successful social and economic integration of new immigrants. Collaboration and community participation underpin the research framework in that the resulting settlement strategy will bring together local agencies and organizations to better assist newcomers with improved or integrated programming and services.

Lead by the County of Lambton, a LIP Council consisting of community members and stakeholders has been formed to guide the efforts of project staff in developing the newcomer settlement strategy and corresponding action plan.

Local Immigration Partnership Settlement Strategy

Oil Heritage Study

The Village of Oil Springs and the Township of Enniskillen, in partnership with the County of Lambton, undertook a study to help the notable areas within their municipalities achieve the status of an Ontario Heritage Conservation District. This designation is achieved through Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act and would preserve heritage structures and industrial archaeological sites.

To achieve this goal, the municipalities worked with local landowners and local historians to produce research and a report. Consultants, including representatives from MHBC Planning, Historical Research Limited and George Robb Architect, undertook a comprehensive inventory of the scale and scope of the resources.

Oil Heritage Conservation District Plan

The Oil Heritage Conservation District Plan was adopted by Lambton County Council on November 24, 2010. The final plan is posted below. Questions regarding any of the documents can be directed to:

Community Meeting - May 11, 2009

A Community Meeting was held on May 11, 2009 at the Oil Springs Youth Centre. At this meeting, consultants explained the research undertaken to date. The following maps were presented for discussion at the meeting, and show three options for defining potential Heritage Conservation District boundaries.

The first map, Limits of Oil Pool, shows a boundary based on the natural limit of the underground resource pool on which the industry was based. All successful wells were located within this boundary.

The second map, Potential Heritage Area, shows the same oil pool boundary, but uses property lines as the boundaries because they are more visible on the ground and are easier to define.

The third map, Potential Contributing and Sequential Heritage Areas, includes the potential district as defined on the second map, but would add other areas that have either contributed directly to the significance of the Oil Springs field (Plank Road, Oil City and the Wyoming railhead), or followed as a further development of the industry (Petrolia).

Public Health Strategic Plan

Strategic priorities were developed after extensive consultation with internal staff and external partners - business, non-profit and governmental leaders - and after examining community needs. The process identified six priority areas for public health to focus on over a five-year span (2014 - 2019). The Lambton Public Health Strategic Plan outlines these priority areas.

Social Services Division Service Delivery Review

In 2020, the Social Services Division worked with KPMG to undertake a review of the administrative processes for the delivery of Social Services. This service review required participation from Social Services Division staff from all departments, and involved the following elements:

  1. Service Profiles: Profiles for the different social services administered and delivered by the Division were developed and included: the service description, applicable public policy objectives, the rationale for the delivery of the service, comparison of service levels to a standing benchmark, the delivery model, budgetary information and a staffing summary.
  2. Process Mapping: KPMG worked with Social Services Division staff to develop process maps that summarize the individual work steps involved in the delivery of a service, current issues impacting efficiencies, customer service, internal controls and risk management and suggestions as to potential courses of action that can be considered by the County. Thirty-four process mapping sessions were completed, reviewing a total of 75 different processes.
  3. Comparative Analysis: A comparison of key performance indicators and financial benchmarks for the County of Lambton and nine comparative Consolidated Municipal Service Managers (CMSM’s).

The results from the KPMG service review highlight many positive aspects of the County’s delivery of Social Services. It also highlights areas where efficiencies may be achieved, and staff will work to adopt and implement the same. The Service Review summary is an excellent tool and provides opportunities for discussion around potential courses of action to address some shortcomings and contribute to an overall, more efficient and cost effective work flow.
