Solutions – The Urban Aboriginal Peoples Study
The 2006 census revealed that for the first time, a majority of individuals who identified as Indigenous and lived in Canada were living in cities. To better understand the experiences, identities, values and aspirations of these people, the Environics Institute convened a diverse advisory circle (including Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts, academics, leaders and educators) and initiated the Urban Aboriginal Peoples Study, a landmark national study whose publicly available findings are housed at the University of Winnipeg.
