Urban Aboriginal Strategy

As of September 4, 2012, the part of the Office of the Federal Interlocutor (OFI) that deals with urban programming has joined the department's Regional Operations branch in order to streamline program management and business processes to deliver efficient, effective and accountable programs.

The Urban Aboriginal Strategy (UAS) is a community-based initiative developed by the Government of Canada to improve social and economic opportunities of Aboriginal people living in urban centres.

Through the Urban Aboriginal Strategy, the Government of Canada partners with the Aboriginal community and local organizations, municipal and provincial governments and with the private sector. These partnerships support projects that respond to local priorities and advance the UAS national priority areas of: improving life skills, promoting job training, skills and entrepreneurship and supporting Aboriginal women, children and families.
