The
Intergovernmental Committee for Economic and Labour Force Development in
Toronto (the ICE Committee) was established in 1997 by officials in the
Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, and the City of Toronto.
The purpose of the committee is to coordinate the economic and labour force
development activities of the three governments (and the various departments
and ministries within each government) in Toronto. All three governments
share in the funding of ICE.
The ultimate goal of the ICE Committee is to achieve the effective delivery
of economic and labour force development programs in Toronto. ICE has played
a key role over the last ten years in bringing together critical players
to share information on their respective programs and projects.
ICE is a working level committee that shares information
on a regular basis. It is the only tri-partite process for information sharing
in Toronto of its kind. Each member of the committee has contacts within
his/her ministry or department. This broader network allows ICE to assist
people in contacting appropriate government officials or in receiving feedback
on particular initiatives.
The membership of ICE includes representatives from the Government of Canada (Service Canada, Industry Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada), the Province of Ontario (Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, Ontario Ministry of Education and the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade), and the City of Toronto (Economic Development and Tourism Division, Finance and Administration Division and Toronto Employment and Social Services Division). There are generally between 12 to 15 members plus the chair. The ICE Committee meets monthly and is chaired by an independent consultant.
The ICE Network includes a broad list of contacts that the committee keeps in touch with on a regular basis. The Network started in 1997 with about 50 people and now has over 400 members. The Network is invited to annual meetings and receives announcements (electronically) of all of the ongoing activities of the ICE Committee.
