  10. Work in partnership with the Arts and Culture coordinator to establish good working relationships with ethno-cultural communities in Greater Saint John.
  11. Establish and maintain excellent networking relationships with other LIPS, municipalities and both Provincial and Federal departments engaged in immigration.
