In 2023, GBLIP partnered with the Research Shop, part of the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (CESI) at the University of Guelph, to conduct a survey of immigrant experiences in Grey Bruce. The primary objectives of the Grey Bruce Immigrant Survey 2023 were to:

1. Undertake the first of its kind survey of immigrants in the Grey Bruce region;
2. Analyze the data collected to understand the varied experiences of diverse groups;
3. And pull out research findings that will inform how service providers, government at multiple levels, businesses and the community at large can foster a more welcoming and inclusive space for immigrants and newcomers.
