Research Lab: Lab and Alex Leblanc

research lab: The plan for the Economic Immigration Lab is, in part, to work with local employers to create better pathways to local jobs, according to CBC. There are a number of studies that show that international students would like to stay in the community in which they study at a rate of anywhere between 50 to 60 per cent, said LeBlanc. Think about a research lab or a science lab, a social lab is not so different from that, said Alex LeBlanc, executive director of the New Brunswick Multicultural Council. Providing an incentive for international students to stay and make their home in the province will in turn help address New Brunswick's problems with stagnant population growth and taxation. Courtesy of UNB LeBlanc said the New Brunswick government, the New Brunswick Business Council, City of Moncton, and the Association for Francophone Municipalities are all at the new lab's leadership table. The University of New Brunswick Pond-Deshpande Centre will be the host of a 'social' lab that will focus on retaining and attracting immigrants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
