The Metropolis Project

The Metropolis Project is an International Forum for Research and Policy on Migration, Diversity and Changing Cities

Established in 1996 as part of the national Metropolis Project and funded by the federal government, provincial government and the associated universities, MBC is located at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia, with a Co-director based on each campus. MBC's main objective is to place in the public realm relevant material that will aid rational discussion on Canada's emerging immigration policy issues.
