Welcome to the second edition
of the Vancouver Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration
and Integration in the Metropolis (RIIM) atlas of immigration
and urban change in Greater Vancouver.
This atlas contains a completely updated set of graphs and maps
that depict the social geography of immigrant settlement in
2001. In addition, given the substantial degree of immigrant
settlement that has occurred in the Abbotsford region (the Census
Metropolitan Area immediately east of Greater Vancouver), we
added that region to all of the maps in this edition of the
atlas. Readers who wish to study the issue of immigrant settlement
in the Vancouver region in more detail are encouraged to download
and read RIIM
Working Paper #98-16, and to compare the 2001 version of
the atlas with the one published using 1996 data (RIIM
Working Paper #00-10). For a description of the role of
RIIM as a research centre intended to provide information to
the public and, especially, to people working in institutions
shaping Canadian immigration policy, please see the general
information page on the RIIM
website. |
