At this critical moment in our shared history, working in partnership is fundamental to building Canada Strong for All.
From projects of national interest to local, community-based infrastructure, our government is committed to working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples, and in full respect of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
Indigenous communities across the country are diverse, and the ways we support them should reflect that. Supporting Indigenous-led groups, programs, services and supports rooted in unique cultures, traditions, identities, and knowledge systems is essential to this government’s commitment to advancing reconciliation.
The work we do together ensures critical services like education, family services, social services and community governance are culturally appropriate, meeting the needs of Indigenous families, communities and individuals.
Investing in communities also bolsters Indigenous entrepreneurship, businesses, and economic development, supporting self-determination and resilience.
Our government will continue working together with Indigenous partners in order to advance the growth and success of Indigenous people.
That’s how we Build Canada Strong, for all – and for generations to come.
