INTRODUCTION
1.1 Vision, Mission, Values
Vision
ISANS vision is a community where all can belong and grow.
Mission
ISANS mission is helping immigrants build a future in Nova Scotia.
History & Outdated Information
Following the strategic planning process in 2016, ISANS mission statement was updated to reflect what we do, in a more concise and easy to remember statement. Pre- 2016, our mission statement was: ISANS is a community organization that welcomes immigrants. Working in partnership, ISANS offers services and creates opportunities that enable immigrants to participate fully in Canadian life. If you find this statement in marketing materials, reports or presentations, it should be removed and updated to the correct mission statement.
Values
ISANS values are:
- Diversity
- Inclusion
- Respect
- Collaboration
- Innovation
- Accountability
We demonstrate diversity through valuing and respecting differences in experiences and perspectives, believing in everyone’s ability to enrich Canadian society through their unique contribution.
We demonstrate inclusion by welcoming and respecting the diversity in our community and fostering a sense of belonging in all.
We demonstrate respect by encouraging an environment of fairness, honesty and integrity for all clients, partners and colleagues.
We demonstrate collaboration by building relationships where we can share responsibilities and ideas and work together to enhance opportunities for all.
We demonstrate innovation through service excellence, by being creative and flexible, responsive to clients and partners and continually seeking new opportunities.
We demonstrate accountability by acknowledging responsibility for our services, tools, actions and decisions and by being transparent and principled in our approach to people and situations.
