CNFC continues talks for revised Edmonton UAS

November 9, 2015. The Canadian Native Friendship Centre, in partnership with the Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association, Alberta Aboriginal Relations, and†Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada in Alberta region, and†the City of Edmonton, continues its community consultation

in November and December under the Urban Aboriginal Strategy. In the initial consultations held in March, participants identified the areas to focus. Recent discussion centred around housing. Sessions are open to Aboriginal peoples living in urban centres, organizations providing programs and services, and other stakeholders. Participants in these sessions will identify strategies and actions that will be incorporated into a revised UAS Edmonton community strategic plan. This Edmonton strategic plan will in turn inform an Alberta-wide UAS regional strategic plan, which will guide National Association of Friendship Centres and ANFCA investments from the Urban Partnerships and Community Capacity Supports funding streams under the federal Urban Aboriginal Strategy.
