Projects

The Urban Aboriginal Strategy, (UAS) provides long-term investments to support urban Aboriginal communities by promoting self-reliance and increasing opportunities for Aboriginal people living in urban centres. INAC has provided federal funding and partnered with Aboriginal and non-profit organizations, provincial and municipal governments and the private sector to support UAS projects in 13 Canadian cities.

Projects must address one of the UAS priority areas:

  • improving life skills;
  • promoting job training, skills and entrepreneurship; or
  • supporting Aboriginal women, children and families.
