Prairie Skies Research

Prairie Skies Integration Network is inviting newcomers, community members, employers, service providers, and community partners to participate in our Community Needs Assessment Survey.

 

Since our last community research in 2022, our communities have continued to grow and change. We want to hear directly from you about the experiences, challenges, needs, and opportunities that exist today.

Your feedback will help us identify current priorities, strengthen services, guide future initiatives, and support the creation of more welcoming and inclusive communities across the Prairie Skies region.

The survey is short, easy to complete, and your voice will play an important role in shaping the future of newcomer settlement and community inclusion. 

Survey deadline: July 31, 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and help us build stronger communities together.

In the ongoing quest to support community-newcomer integration in our region, Prairie Skies contracted a research team at the University of Regina to conduct a data-gathering Research Project. A comprehensive report was produced in March 2022.

 

Since then, Prairie Skies’ Secretariat, with the support of the Research Working Group, Research Advisory Subcommittee, and the U of R Research Team, reviewed the study through a community lens, and planned for effective Knowledge Translation, including the development of topical research briefs.

 

The study’s aim mirrored that of our earlier Literature Review:

 

• To reveal the current dynamics of newcomer integration in our region.
• To render evidence for Prairie Skies’ strategic direction and focuses.
• To support awareness of topics requiring further investigation.
