In partnership with Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is proud to work with Multicultural Liaison Officers (MLOs).
MLOs work with school staff to support newcomer students and families with settlement services, navigating the school system, filling out forms, language and cultural interpretation, conflict resolution, becoming more involved at school, and accessing supports that meet their needs within the school or community.
MLOs are called in the immigration sector Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS). They are assigned in many schools across our District.
Visit OCISO’s website to learn more about the MLO Program.
Meet Our MLOs
To learn about your school’s MLO or request their support, please contact your school directly or visit your school website.
Please also remember that not every school in the OCDSB is currently assigned an MLO. If you are looking for support from an MLO and your school does not currently have one assigned, your school will be able to connect you with the MLO at a school nearby. Reach out to your school directly to learn more.
