Immigration Settlement Services

Immigration is an issue of the heart. People will come and stay only if they can provide for their families, make personal contacts, and build supportive networks in their workplaces and communities.

Andrew Pace, born in Australia, is the Immigration Information Navigator with the South West Shore Development Authority. He is responsible for coordinating and leading efforts to unite community groups and organizations in the goal of being a Welcoming Community for all newcomers to the Tri-County region.
