Indigenous Edmonton Directory (2017) Indigenous Edmonton Directory kisik This series of paintings is inspired by the quiet spaces where Elders and Youngers sit together. They learn so much from each other through observation and careful contemplation. It is my hope to have as many of these moments as humanly possible as both.

It is young, entrepreneurial, educated, culturally active, artistic, and caring. It is the home of the second largest urban Aboriginal population in Canada, and lies in the heart of Treaty No. 6 territory. It is the headquarters of the Metis Nation of Alberta, and a gateway to the north for many Inuit who seeks services away from home. Edmonton is a hub for visitors before embarking to the numerious Treaty 8 First Nations and Metis Settlements in Northen Alberta, and welcomes many other Indigenous people who come to Edmonton to work live and play. Thus, the “Indigenous community” is not one community, but “many communities.” It is a reflection of the diversity and multifaceted population which calls Edmonton one of their homes. The Indigenous Peoples in Edmonton have roots that are deeply sown and well-traveled through-out the whole of the City and extend from the past, through to the present, and will continue well into the future. This Directory has built upon the work initiated by the Edmonton Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee to collaboratively reproduce, with communities, this directory. We hope you find it useful and your feedback and suggestions are welcomed.

First established in 1971 as a small storefront operation, the agency has grown to meet the needs of its client community, and now each year more than 12,000 people – more than 70 per cent of whom are of Aboriginal descent – access the wide range of supports and services which are available. Many of our daily clients are either sleeping rough or in shelters. They are all, without exception, extremely poor, and many of them are marginalized because of their ethnicity and their poverty. At our centre in the inner city we do all we can to support them. We provide cultural, outreach, mental health, housing, family and youth and employment services as well as a drop-in where the community can enjoy great food, warmth and companionship. We also have group homes in different Edmonton locations which are for children and at risk youth ranging in age from two to 17. And in the northeast of the city we own a 62-unit apartment building which houses many people who were previously homeless. We also partner with other

  • CFWE-FM-4 Edmonton – New Transmitter in Janvier
    Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2021-80 PDF version Reference: Part 1 application posted on 9 October 2020 Ottawa, 22 February 2021 Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta Edmonton and Janvier, Alberta Public record for this application: 2020-0648-6 CFWE-FM-4 Edmonton – New transmitter in Janvier 1. The Commission has the authority, pursuant to section 9(1) of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), to issue licences subject to such conditions related to the circumstances of the licensee as the Commission deems appropriate for the implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in section 3(1) of the Act and to amend those conditions on application of the licensee. 2. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission approves the application by Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta (AMMSA) to amend the broadcasting licence for the Indigenous (Type B Native)1 radio programming undertaking CFWE-FM-4 Edmonton, Alberta, to add a low-power FM rebroadcasting transmitter in Janvier, Alberta, to serve the Chipewyan Prairie First Nation. The Commission did not receive any interventions in regard to this application. 3. The new transmitter will operate at 89.9 MHz (channel 210LP) with an effective radiated power of 50 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 44.9 metres). 4. AMMSA noted that the Chipewyan Prairie First Nation has no over-the-air access to a radio service targeted to Indigenous communities because of its remote location approximately 94 km southeast of Fort McMurray. The licensee has previously broadcast to this community, and it submitted that it has received many requests to restore the service.
