Jack Malkin, Chair of the London Multi Cultural Association, described the work of the LMCA. London is less multicultural than the national average. Nationally immigrants are 21.9% of the population; London is 19.5% and Toronto is 46.5%. To increase multicultural awareness the LMCA helps immigrants with employment issues, education, the arts and entrepreneur ventures. The reason immigrants come to London are: friends and family (56%), Employment (24%) and business opportunity (10%). LMCA helps with networking, overcoming cultural barriers and language issues. They also provide a small scholarship for Immigrant students for post secondary education. To do their work, LMCA sponsors various events including a Gala and other social events.
