  • Brief Submitted to the Committee
    Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs Sixth Floor, 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa ON K1A 0A6 Canada November 27, 2020 Please accept this brief for the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs study of support for Indigenous communities, businesses, and individuals through a second wave of Covid-19. SITUATION Since March 2020, James Smith Cree Nation (JSCN) and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), have made requests to Canada for funding support for a First Nations led and managed solution to address our urgent and emergency need for Personal Protective Equipment in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities in the face of COVID-19. We have engaged exhaustive correspondence and communications about these proposals with: Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Hon. Chrystia Freeland, Hon. Marc Miller, Mr. Mike Burton, Hon. Carolyn Bennett, and ISC Regional officials Jocelyn Andrews, Rob Harvey and Bonnie Rushowick. Despite extensive consultations and discussions with the department and minister’s office, we have experienced significant delays and denials from Canada to support these urgently needed and emergency proposals. This has been well documented since May, with particular reference to ‘Indigenous Services Moving Goalposts on First Nations PPE’, CBC News, September 11, 2020 (https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/first-nations-ppe-proposal-1.5721249). The failed funding and departmental dysfunction have resulted in significant outbreaks which are occurring across our regions. By Canada’s own admission on November 29, COVID-19 is now four times (4x) worse in First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities than during the first wave which occurred from March through May 2020.

  • Overview of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
    Annex 9 B180304 OVERVIEW OF CANADA MORTGAGE AND HOUSING CORPORATION INITIATIVES FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE COMMISSIONERS FOR THE NATIONAL INQUIRY INTO MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN AND GIRLS Introduction As Canada’s authority on housing for over 70 years, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has been working to help Canadians meet their housing needs and improve their quality of life. We want every Canadian to live somewhere that feels like home. We know that safe, stable and affordable housing plays a key role in a whole range of socio-economic outcomes. We also know that the lack of such housing can have negative impacts on families and communities. CMHC is pleased to share its story with the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (the Inquiry) and we will focus on the support provided directly to Indigenous peoples, primarily First Nations people living on reserve, and highlight where we are working to make a difference in the lives of women and girls.1 In many of these initiatives, CMHC works closely with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC). CMHC Support for Indigenous Peoples CMHC’s direct support to Indigenous peoples began in the early 1970s when CMHC introduced the Winter Warmth Assistance Program and the Rural and Native Housing Program. As predecessors to the current Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) and the On-Reserve Non-Profit Rental Housing Program (Section 95),2 these programs provided funding assistance to renovate and construct homes for individuals in rural and northern areas.

  • Knowledge Mobilization Report
    1. GWF’s Knowledge Mobilization Approach The Global Waters Futures (GWF) Program delivers state-of-the-art knowledge mobilization (KM) in conjunction with its scientific objectives of predicting change in cold regions, developing Big Data and support systems, and designing user solutions to focus on real world problems. KM is the process of moving knowledge from formal research projects into active use. It is an iterative and interactive process of sharing of knowledge between research producers and users including policy professionals, decision- makers and communities from beginning to end - during project development, research process and results interpretation and sharing. The most effective KM involves a close association of researchers and practitioners with co-creation intentions and methods. To support the KM goals of the program and the projects, GWF has established a KM Team through core financial support to partner institutions. The KM Core Team envisions a GWF legacy that has fostered innovation in researcher-practitioner co-creation that has led to policy advancements and positive social change for water science and management in Canada. The GWF program was kicked off in 2016 with significant stakeholder engagement through a series of interviews with key individuals across Canada, in all water-related sectors including all levels of government, industries and non-profit organizations. The inaugural program Director and current program Director also visited and participated in discussions with Indigenous organizations and communities. Together, this engagement work framed the science objectives and the research and products needed by users, the development of an Indigenous co-led funding stream, and set the expectations for knowledge mobilization processes between GWF, partners, and potential users of the science and decision-support tools generated throughout the program.
