GOVERNMENT OF CANADA- INDIGENOUS & NORTHER N AFFAIRS CANADA URBAN INDIGENOUS STRATEGY FUNDING: Budget 2017 announced the new Urban Indigenous Strategy to replace the former Urban Aboriginal Strategy. Details of the funding streams for this new programming are not available yet.

CONTACT INFORMATION:

INDIGENOUS & NORTHERN AFFAIRS CANADA Southern Alberta Field Services Office Suite 300 9911 Chiila Boulevard Tsuut’ina, AB T2W 6H6 Telephone: (403) 292-5780

DESCRIPTION: The Department has been actively involved in urban programming for a number of

years. Under the previous Urban Aboriginal Strategy a large number of stakeholders were brought together for planning, priority setting and collaborative initiatives which resulted in community plans being developed in 21 urban Indigenous communities throughout Alberta. A main focus of the strategy has always been on establishing partnerships and collaborative networks to work together to achieve shared objectives. This collaborative approach brought together governments, Indigenous communities and the private and not-forprofit sectors. Funding streams supported projects that provided opportunities for urban Indigenous people to share fully in the economic and social lives in their communities.

Budget 2017 – Announcement. Tailored Programs and Services to Support Indigenous Peoples Living in Urban Centres

More than half of the Indigenous Peoples in Canada live in urban centres. The Urban Indigenous Strategy— formerly the Urban Aboriginal Strategy—supports Indigenous service centres in major urban areas that provide a one-window approach to programs and services for First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. These centres are tailored to meet the needs of women and men that live in particular communities. For example, these centres can offer training and skills programs, day care programs, parenting programs, and other specific programs that help meet the needs of urban Indigenous Peoples and support their transition to life in the city. Budget 2017 proposes to continue to invest in the program with funding over five years.

ELIGIBILITY: Details of the programming will be known in the near future. OTHER INFORMATION: Please contact directly or refer to website for further details. https://www.canada.ca/en/indigenous-northern-affairs.html

DESCRIPTION: To take advantage of economic opportunities, an Indigenous community must be ready

in a number of ways. They may need start-up funds to undertake pre-development activities. They may need a partner or business leader who understands the involved industry.

The program is a consolidation of the former Community Economic Opportunities Program, the Major Projects Investment Fund, and the community-based components of the Aboriginal Business Development Program. By helping communities become equipped to participate in an economic opportunity, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) can increase the participation of Indigenous people in Canada’s economy overall and improve the prosperity of Indigenous communities and individuals.

ELIGIBILITY:   

The three pillars of the criteria and the overarching principles are outlined below:  Financial Management - First Nation demonstrates competency in financial management, a history of paying its obligations, and an adequate financial position.  Good Governance - The First Nation demonstrates that it has good governance and administration within the community. In particular, it has sustainable processes and systems which will support the community’s commitment to housing management over the long-term.  Community Commitment and Evidence of Demand for Market-Based Housing. There is evidence that community members support the concept of market housing and can afford homeownership and/or market rentals in the community.

DESCRIPTION: Violence against women remains a problem in Canada and throughout the world, affecting women’s personal safety and their ability to participate in and contribute to society. The risk of violence is compounded for Aboriginal women (First Nations, Inuit, Métis and non-status Indians), who are three and one-half times more likely to experience violent victimization than non-Aboriginal women. Aboriginal women report higher rates of violence committed by strangers and more serious forms of family violence. They are significantly over-represented as victims of homicide and are also three times more likely to be victims of spousal violence than non-Aboriginal women. The Government of Canada is committed to enhance efforts to reduce violence against Aboriginal women and girls by supporting community-led programming and awareness campaigns as well as action to address the underlying factors that make Aboriginal women more vulnerable to violence. Any approach to violence must begin with a strong focus on prevention, including intervening early with children and youth, providing supports for education and training, and sending a clear message that violence is unacceptable. The Justice Partnership and Innovation Program – Violence Against Aboriginal Women and Girls supports Aboriginal communities in breaking intergenerational cycles of violence and abuse through awareness activities, pilot projects, tools and resources to reduce vulnerability to violence and to build healthy relationships.

ELIGIBILITY: All of the following are eligible for funding: • National, provincial, municipal, regional, Aboriginal, community or professional not-for-profit organizations; • Provincial, territorial, regional and municipal governments; • Canadian educational institutions; • Bands, tribal councils, self-governing First Nations and Inuit. Some of the activities that may be supported include: • Workshops, conferences, symposiums; • Training sessions; and
