Urban Aboriginal People in Western Canada: Realities and Policies

PDF Report

Organization/ Author: Canada West Foundation, Calvin Hanselmann

Description:
This report is the first installment of the Canada West Foundation’s two-year Urban Aboriginal People Research Initiative, being conducted under the auspices of the larger three-year Western Cities Project. The Initiative will identify key policy areas, explore policy options and alternatives, highlight best practice models, and promote dialogue about urban Aboriginal issues. In so doing, the Canada West Foundation will increase public awareness of those issues and encourage constructive public policy debate.

To meet these objectives, the Urban Aboriginal People Research Initiative will include three components, each to be explored through a public policy lens.

This component, Urban Aboriginal People: Policies and Realities, explores:

• Comparison of urban Aboriginal people with non-Aboriginal urban dwellers.

• Overview of current federal, provincial and municipal policies impacting urban Aboriginal people.
