received
item
number
felicity,
vital
response
to
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
commissions
calls
to
action.
There
is
a
presentation
so
we'll
be
holding
that
item
and
returning
to
it
and
item
number
five,
meaning
Saigon
square
Cal,
so
McKenna
I
think
you
wanted
to
search
your
words.
Yes,.
B
B
Actually
I
believe
that
we
wouldn't
have
the
recreation
centers,
the
schools,
much
of
the
infrastructure
that
we
have
today
without
the
influx
of
Vietnamese
community
in
late
70s
or
1979
and
80,
as
as
a
result
of
marrying
doer,
who
was
mayor
of
auto
at
the
time,
opening
up
the
doors
to
the
city.
So
today,
we've
got
that.
You
know
that
part
of
what
we
referred
to
as
west
center
town
is
thriving.
B
It's
it's
diversified,
but
you
know
we.
You
can't
walk
down
Somerset
without
noticing
the
the
impact
of
the
Vietnamese
community
beyond
just
all
of
the
full
restaurants,
which
you
know,
I,
welcome
anyone
to
come
out
and
and
and
sample
any
of
the
any
of
those
restaurants,
but
certainly
plant
pool
recreation
center.
B
Our
schools,
just
so
much
of
what's
there
is,
as
a
result
of
you,
know
the
influx
of
many
new
immigrants
to
to
the
downtown
Italian
Chinese
Vietnamese
Korean,
but
so
this
report
it
will
recognize
just
that
southwest
corner
of
Somerset
and
Preston
as
as
Saigon
square
and
worked
like
I
say
with
the
Vietnamese
community,
who
is
now
dispersed
across
the
city
in
all
of
our
awards,
and
pleased
to
bring
that
here
today.
Thank
you.
B
A
Thank
you
on
the
report
carriage.
Thank
you,
okay.
So
we're
turning
into
item
number
four,
so
the
city
of
otherwise
responds
to
the
truth
and
reconciliation
calls
to
action
and
just
wanted
to
start
by
saying
the
few
words
I'd
like
to
begin
by
honoring
and
thanking
the
Algonquin
people
on
who's
unseated,
traditional
territory.
The
City
of
Ottawa
is
located
and
I
would
like
to
thank
it
acknowledge
thee.
All
First
Nations
maintain
intimate
people
for
the
ongoing
stewardship
of
this
land.
A
As
we,
this
committee,
this
city
and
this
community
work
to
breathe
life
into
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
commissions
calls
to
action.
It's
important
to
take
every
opportunity
to
come
together
and
truly
listen
to
each
other,
so
we
can
work
towards
reconciliation.
This
report
represents
a
pathway
for
us
to
continue
on
our
shared
journey
to
reconciliation.
The
proposed
reconciliation
action
plan
includes
13
actions
that
respond
to
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
commissions
calls
to
actions
and
principles.
One
of
the
actions
include
him
in
the
period
in
the
proposed
reconciliation
action
plan
is
the
reconciliation
tool
project.
A
This
was
proposed
in
spearheaded
by
dr.
Cindy
Blackstock
and
the
First
Nations
Child
and
Family
caring
Society
of
Canada
after
the
cities,
Aboriginal
awareness
state
last
June
cancers,
McKenney
news
dawn
and
I
hosted
a
meeting
earlier
this
month
with
our
Gong
Qin
indigenous
public
and
private
sector
leaders.
To
begin
to
talk
about
what
a
reconciliation
tool
could
include.
Acknowledging
the
complete
history
and
telling
the
true
story
of
relationships
between
indigenous
and
non-indigenous
people
in
Canada
is
one
of
the
actions
that
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
committee
asked
us
collectively
to
do.
A
The
second
report
recommendation
being
considered
today
to
adapt
and
adapt
the
Federation
of
Canadian
Municipalities
big
city
mayors,
caucus
statement
of
reconciliation
also
says
to
make
a
similar
acknowledgement
and
to
commit
to
pursuing
this
journey
of
reconciliation
together.
The
City
of
Ottawa
has
long
been
a
leader
in
its
relationship
with
the
Aboriginal
community
have
been
created
a
formal
partnership
over
ten
years
ago.
Since
then,
we
have
built
a
strong
relationship
based
on
mutual
trust
and
respect
and
accomplish
many
positive
outcomes
for
our
Aboriginal
residents.
A
This
statement
solidifies
our
commitment
to
this
next
phase
of
the
shared
journey
toward
reconciliation.
As
the
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee,
we
have
the
important
role
providing
leadership
as
we
continue
to
build
relationships
and
Trust
with
First
Nations,
Metis
and
Inuit
community
members.
To
speak
to
the
report,
I
would
like
to
open
fire
for
a
manager,
a
partner
and
stakeholder
initiatives
in
the
community
and
social
services
department
and
Mike
miracle,
the
culture
of
the
aboriginal
working
committee
and
the
executive
director
of
getting
real
housing.
D
Good
morning,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here-
it's
our
absolute
pleasure
and
honor
to
be
here
today
to
speak
to
this
item.
I
can
say
without
hesitation
as
staff
that
this
is
one
of
the
most
meaningful
days
for
us.
This
is.
He
marks
a
huge
milestone
in
our
joint
journey
towards
reconciliation
and
as
a
real
reflection
of
the
work
that
we've
done
in
collaboration
with
matey
Inuit
and
First
Nations
people
here
in
Ottawa
and
with
the
First
Nations
of
the
Algonquin
first
nations
as
well
I'm.
D
It
would
not
have
been
possible.
I
can
say
wholeheartedly
if
it
were
not
for
the
partnership
and
collaboration
and
care
with
which
the
Ottawa
Bridger
Coalition
has
worked
with
us.
So
we
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
that,
and
specifically
under
the
leadership
of
Marc
miracle,
who
is
here
with
me
today.
D
And
finally,
we
would
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
acknowledge
the
contributions
of
elders
and
traditional
teachers,
who
were
very
gracious
to
meet
with
us
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
and
provide
their
input
and
I
hope
that
they
would
feel
that
their
input
is
reflected
in
the
work
that's
being
spoken
to
today,
as
the
chair
mentioned.
We
are.
Our
report
recommends
that
this
committee
recommend
to
council
that
we
adopt
the
City
of
Ottawa
reconciliation
action
plan,
as
presented
in
the
report
and
a
statement
of
our
conciliation.
D
This
one
adapted
from
the
June
1st
Federation
of
Canadian
Municipalities
big-city,
mayor's
caucus
statement
of
reconciliation
today,
mark
9
will
be
speaking
in
support
of
the
staff
report
and
we'll
review
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
the
aboriginal
partnership
with
the
city
of
ottawa.
The
urban
Aboriginal
partnership,
the
accomplishments
of
that
partnership
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
we
will
speak
specifically
to
the
proposed
reconciliation
action
plan
so
right
now,
I'd
like
to
ask
mark
to
take
them.
Take
them.
E
Thank
you
very
much
Clara.
It's
certainly
my
pleasure
in
order
to
be
speaking
to
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
together
and
I.
Think
if
there
was
anything
that
I
was
going
to
underline
in
terms
of
relationship
building
and
where
we
are
today,
it's
a
reflection
of
a
lot
of
trust,
building
and
joint
work
and
we're
at
a
position
in
terms
of
the
relationship
with
the
city
where
we
do
things
together
and
we've
got
to
a
point
where
it's
about
shared
risk
and
we
both
have
something
to
win
and
lose
in
that
exercise.
E
E
We're
working
at
this
together
to
make
our
city
better
for
all
of
us
and
I.
Think
we've
had
a
earnest
partnership
with
the
administration
of
the
city
and
staff
and
certainly
there's
been
the
political
support,
that's
necessary
to
guide
what
we're
doing
and
I
think.
We've
got
a
good
working
example
that
we
can
share
with
the
rest
of
the
country
and
this
opportunity
around
reconciliation
is
simply
an
acknowledgment
that
what
indigenous
people
have
gone
through
as
far
as
truth
and
reconciliation
and
the
residential
school
system
is
that
people
see
what
we've
gone
through.
E
They've
heard,
testimony
and
examples
of
how
it's
affected
people's
lives
and
families
and
communities
and
we're.
Now
at
a
point
where
we
start
to
try
to
understand
how
we
put
things
back
together
and
we
do
it
together.
We
do
it
cooperatively
collaboratively
and
that's
where
we'll
be
speaking
to
in
terms
of
our
work.
Here,
as
I
said,
it's
been
collaborative
partnership,
a
journey
of
mutual
trust,
building
and
reflection,
information
sharing,
an
inclusive
decision-making
process
and,
above
all,
it's
about
taking
action.
E
And
that's
what
we're
asking
the
committee's
support
and
ultimately,
mayor
and
council
is
support
to
advance
the
notion
of
reconciliation
and
what
we
can
do
at
the
municipal
and
community
levels
to
make
that
real.
So,
in
terms
of
the
context
of
Ottawa,
Ottawa
continues
to
be
a
very
important
destination
for
many
First
Nations
Inuit
and
maytee
people's,
and
there
is
support,
that's
here
and
opportunities
that
the
city
provides,
and
it's
notable
that
our
kin,
our
community
itself,
continues
to
grow
so
that
hasn't
changed.
E
The
2016
census
reflects
that
that
population
is
around
23,000
but
I
know
from
an
organizational
and
service
perspective.
That
number
is
more
likely
to
be
double
that
amount
and
there's
in-and-out
in
terms
of
migration
from
own
communities
and
other
cities
into
Ottawa,
but
it's
it's
it's
overwhelmingly
larger
than
the
stated
23,000
people
in
that
census.
The
other
thing
to
note
is
that
from
is
the
diversity
and
cultural
richness.
We
have
indigenous
people
from
virtually
all
over
the
country,
there's
over
63
linguistic
groups.
E
We
see
this
in
terms
of
housing,
demand
and
service,
a
very
diverse
population.
We
have
all
of
the
national
and
political
organizations
a
lot
of
professional
development
organizations
that
are
here.
That's
attracting
people
that
are
educated,
lots
of
experience
and
and
it
it
helps
define
a
different
experience
in
terms
of
the
urban
indigenous
reality.
E
The
other
thing
to
note
is
that
this
War
City
has
the
largest
population
of
Inuit
people
outside
of
the
north
and
it's
a
service
hub
again
political
representation,
and
my
sense
is
that
that
number
is
also
understated
in
terms
of
what
they're,
seeing
in
terms
of
a
documented
number
being
around
2000.
It's
probably
double
that,
so
it's
significant
it
continues
to
grow.
E
As
far
as
the
coalition's
working
relationship
through
the
aboriginal
working
committee
with
the
city
we've
been
in
place
since
2007
we've
worked
very
closely
as
a
coalition
with
city
partners,
we
actually
have
11
members
that
are
part
of
our
coalition,
and
that
number
is
we're
always
looking
to
grow,
that
number
in
terms
of
representation
and
in
terms
of
community
partners.
Obviously,
the
city
departments
that
have
a
close
interaction
with
indigenous
people
on
the
service
side
are
involved.
E
We
also
have
the
United
Way,
the
Catholic
and
public
school
boards,
the
Ottawa
Police
Service,
as
well
as
the
coalition
is
formally
stated.
We've
worked
together
to
take
practical
action
and
to
focus
on
service
delivery,
to
enrich
cultural
initiatives
and
build
knowledge
and
earnest
about
indigenous
history
and
our
cultures
and
I'm
extremely
proud
of
how
we've
grown
together
over
the
past
10
and
1/2
years,
and
that
it's
focused
on
outcomes
and
it's
really
the
relationship
that
was
set.
E
We
went
on
a
journey,
but
from
the
beginning,
we
established
the
coalition
in
2000
2001,
and
that
was
a
comment
from
our
elder.
That
was,
and
has
been
a
very
big
part
of
who
we
are
as
a
group
that
it
was
always
about
relations
and
everything
that
we
do
is
about
relationships,
so
that
continues
to
be
our
foundation
on
this
journey,
even
toward
building
reconciliation.
And
some
of
the
examples
that
we
have
in
terms
of
accomplishments
is
that
over
350
city
staff
and
partners
have
attended
the
last
two
years
of
our
Aboriginal
Awareness
Day.
E
That's
held
close
to
National
Indigenous
Day
on
June
21st.
We
focused
over
the
last
three
years,
specifically
on
the
residential
school
experience.
In
2015,
we
had
chief
Bobby
Joseph,
who
is
a
survivor
of
the
residential
school
system,
come
and
talk
about
his
personal
journey
through
the
residential
school
system
and
the
work
that
he's
been
involved
with.
E
In
2016,
we
had
senator
Murray
Sinclair,
who
was
the
chair
of
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
lead
a
keynote
address
to
that
Aboriginal
Awareness
Day
and
talked
about
the
work
of
the
Commission
and
its
impact
at
the
community
level
and
basically
took
us
on
a
bit
of
a
history
lesson
over
the
course
of
Canada's
relationship
with
indigenous
people
resulting
in
the
residential
school
system
and
its
impacts,
and
then
touching
on
the
recommendations
that
they
were
making
in
their
calls
to
action.
And,
most
recently
in
June
of
2017,
we
had
dr.
E
Cindy
blacks,
talk,
talk
about
the
history
of
the
residential
school
system
and
some
historical
figures
here
in
the
city
that
were
part
and
parcel
of
that
policy
and
responding
to
the
impacts
of
the
residential
school
system.
We've
also
had
over
250
Aboriginal
youth
participate
in
I
love
to
program
series
and
I
love
to
mentor
program
series
that
sponsored
through
the
City
of
Ottawa.
The
housing
first
program
has
also
seen
51
indigenous
youth
served
through
wall
Bono's,
youth,
home
based
case
management
system,
as
well
as
a
full-service
and
culturally
competent
dental
health
clinic.
E
That's
been
initiated
at
Wollman
L
Centre
for
Aboriginal
health
in
October
of
2016
since
then,
or
in
2017,
we've
had
over
500
patients
seen
through
over
1200
visits.
That's
focused
on
preventive
dental
outreach
that
the
Ottawa
Public
Health
has
sponsored
and
worked
very
closely
with
the
the
community
to
develop
this
program
as
well.
E
E
E
The
notion
is
that,
as
we
have
better
education,
better
housing,
better
health,
stronger
participation
in
the
labor
market,
then
it
all
contributes
to
community
well-being,
and
it's
also
focused
on
noting
that
everything
that
we
do
if
we're
intentional
reconciliation,
is
also
part
of
that,
and
rather
than
need
to
talk
about
it,
it
becomes
embedded
in
the
way
that
we
build
relationships
and
how
we
work
together
and
the
result
is
like
a
pond
and
a
pebble
in
a
pond.
You
know
we're
talking
about
building
a
culturally
relevant,
a
vibrant,
healthy,
safe,
educated
engaged
community.
E
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
much.
So
that
really
describes
the
foundation
upon
which
we
are
proposing.
The
city
respond
to
the
truth
and
reconciliation
commission
calls
to
action.
The
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission
was
established
to
explore
the
impact
of
the
Indian
Residential
school
system
on
Aboriginal
people
in
Canada
in
June
of
2015.
The
TRC
released
their
report
outlining
94
calls
to
action
aimed
at
redressing
the
residential
schools
legacy
and
advancing
reconciliation
in
Canada.
The
calls
to
action
are
directed
to
all
levels
of
government
and
several
specifically
speak
to
municipal
governments.
D
We
have
been
working
very
closely
with
the
OTO
Aboriginal
coalition
to
engage
over
500
people
to
identify
and
provide
feedback
on
an
initial
municipal
response
to
those
calls
to
action
that
we
have
in
front
of
you
today.
The
community
engagement
has
included
participation
in
three
auto
Aboriginal
community
forums
coalition,
community
forums,
but
in
2016,
2017
and
again
in
2018,
and
we
have
presented
our
intentions
to
the
community
and
received
their
feedback.
D
We've
had
meetings
with
elders,
traditional
teachers
and
our
Vulcan
Council
representatives,
and
we
of
course
engaged
with
our
Aboriginal
working
committee,
a
group
of
partners
in
putting
the
proposed
action
plan
activities
identified
in
the
report.
Respond
in
part
to
the
TRC
calls
to
action
and
to
the
principles
of
reconciliation
as
part
of
the
Commission's
work.
Isn't
it
is
meant
to
represent
the
city's
first
steps
on
the
road
to
reconciliation
and,
at
the
same
time
build
on
the
foundation
of
the
relationships
that
we
have
built
with
indigenous
community
partners
and
members
broadly
in
Ottawa.
E
So,
with
respect
to
the
statement
of
reconciliation
in
our
discussions
with
our
elders
and
traditional
teachers,
as
well
as
the
broader
indigenous
community,
was
made
clear
that
the
city's
response
to
the
truth
and
reconciliation
in
the
calls
to
action
must
demonstrate
leadership
and
action,
and
the
first
step
is
the
adoption
of
a
council
statement
of
commitment
to
reconciliation
and,
again
it's
consistent
with
what
we've
put
forward
as
an
agenda
of
action
that
it's
reinforcing
that
there's
alignment
that
it's
it's
an
intentional
progression
of
the
relationship.
The
statement
acknowledges
the
legacy
of
the
residential
schools.
E
It
recognizes
the
significance
of
the
undertaking
of
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission,
and
it
commits
to
working
with
the
Aboriginal
community
to
ensure
our
voice
in
our
needs
are
being
addressed
and
included
in
what
we
are
as
a
city.
The
adoption
of
the
statement
is
also
important
in
that
it
takes
immediate
action.
It
solidifies
the
commitment
to
this
next
phase
of
a
shared
journey
toward
that
reconciliation.
It
reinforced
Akama,
Tunder,
standing
a
mutual
recognition
and
respect
between
the
city
and
our
community,
and
it
reinforces
for
all
residents
the
values
and
principles
that
the
city
embodies.
D
The
proposed
reconciliation
action
plan
reflects
and
builds
on
the
spirit,
intent
of
the
TRC
calls
to
action
and
the
principles
of
reconciliation.
It
builds
on
the
input
received
from
elders
and
traditional
teachers
and
the
Algonquin
communities.
It
builds
on
municipal
work
and
accomplishments
achieved
through
the
aboriginal
working
committee,
and
it
builds
on
the
actions
undertaken
by
other
municipalities
across
Canada,
which
were
also
explored.
The
report
recommends
14
actions
that
have
been
identified
over
the
past
year,
many
of
which
are
already
underway.
Two-Thirds
of
initiatives
are
already
underway
and
one-third
are
at
the
beginning.
D
Three
initiatives
have
also
been
identified
for
future
consideration,
exploration
and
partnership
with
the
indigenous
community
partners,
senior
management
and
political
leaders.
These
include
an
Ottawa
specific
council
statement
on
reconciliation,
commitment
to
reconciliation,
an
annual
dialogue,
remediate
wean
municipal
elected
officials,
leaders
and
indigenous
elders,
including
Algonquin,
First,
Nations
and
renaming
of
highly
visible
dedicated
spaces
at
Ottawa,
City,
Hall
and
other
municipal
buildings.
Moving
forward,
the
aboriginal
working
committee
will
inform
the
implementation
of
the
reconciliation
action
plan.
E
Just
in
closing,
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
support
that
this
committee,
and
certainly
through
councillor
Dean's
and
other
councillors
that
have
attended
meetings
that
we've
convened
and,
most
importantly,
come
community
forums
that
we
try
to
do
twice
a
year.
That's
an
engagement
with
the
community.
E
That's
focused
on
providing
an
update
on
our
activities,
but
it's
also
about
celebrating
accomplishment
and
achievement,
and
we
make
a
big
effort
to
make
sure
that
we
acknowledge
people
in
the
community
for
their
contributions,
and
we
couldn't
do
that
in
a
public
setting
like
we
do
at
City
Hall
without
the
support
of
the
city.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
ongoing
support.
E
It's
been
consistent,
it's
been
a
constant
and,
in
terms
of
you
know,
from
from
an
economic
or
a
market
point
of
view,
you
guys
have
been
very
predictable
and
that
creates
stability
and
I
think
that's
incredibly
important,
because
this
the
community
sees
that
and
we
do
it
together
and
I
certainly
want
to
acknowledge
that
partnership.
So
thank
you.
A
F
Because
don't
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
it's
it's.
We
know
the
work
that
the
Coalition
does
with
the
city
on
a
regular
basis,
but
it's
good
to
see
it
on
the
committee
for
I'm
going
to
see
a
good
landing
point,
a
good
foundation
of
the
work
that
that
is
ongoing
and
some
of
the
goals
for
the
future.
I'd
like
to
refer
to
the
diagram.
I
know
it
was
one
of
the
slides
I
think
it's
diagram
number
one
and
just
pulling
it
up
here
in
diagram
one.
F
Yes,
exactly
so,
and
the
internal
section
is
housing
and
mark
I
know
that
gingo
housing,
your
organization,
certainly
I,
know
you
wear
multiple
hats,
but
does
great
work
and
we
have
other
housing
providers
at
the
table.
I'd
like
to
hear
from
you
like
I'm,
not
seeing
specific
housing
goals
and
I
know
that
for
the
community
there
are
specific
housing
needs
that
you
know.
For
example,
you
and
I
have
talked
about
over
the
years.
F
D
So
certainly
housing
is
a
priority
of
the
work
of
the
aboriginal
working
committee
and
it
remains
a
priority
and
as
part
of
the
work
that
we
do
collectively,
it
is
a
constant
operational
priority
and
if
there
are
housing
activities
that
are
part
of
our
Aboriginal
Working
Committee
that
become
part
of
an
operational
plan.
So
what's
before,
you
are
actions
that
are
above
and
beyond
that
that
was
were
speaking
to
specifically
in
terms
of
the
TRC
and
the
cost
action.
D
F
That's
available
for
for
that
specific
community
which
were
not
able
to
respond,
but
at
the
same
time
there
are
provincial
and
federal
programs
under
the
urban
Aboriginal
strategies
that
we
can't
seem
to
to
unlock.
So
I
know
that
there's
great
work,
there's
good
initiatives
I'm!
You
know
this
is
a
very
important
report.
I
certainly
support
all
the
great
work,
but
I
also
think
it's
important
to
be
constructive
and
in
that
context,
for
me,
we
have
to.
F
We
have
to
assist
the
and
lead
that
with
the
partners,
the
discussions
with
our
provincial
and
federal
partners,
specifically
on
the
Erb
original,
the
urban
Aboriginal
strategies
that
both
governments
have,
because
what
I'm
seeing
is
that
you
know
I'm
using
the
och
examples
where
the
community
going
through
the
traditional
route
of
being
as
a
top
priority,
because
you're
homeless
and
being
housed,
then
for
various
situations
not
being
able
to
stay
house
and
back
on
the
registry
back
so
that
there's
something
there.
That's
not
working,
and
we
need
to
to
bring
additional
attention
to
it.
F
B
E
One
of
the
things
you
don't
see
is
the
indicators
that
we
vitally
identified
under
each
of
those
four
categories.
So
on
the
notion
of
housing.
There's
there
is
a
much
bigger
discussion,
that's
happening
provincially
and
federally
around
the
National
Housing
Strategy,
and
there
is
an
intention
for
the
provincial
government
to
develop
a
provincial
indigenous
housing
strategy
and
we
just
recently
had
a
meeting
with
representation
from
indigenous
awards.
E
It's
a
the
department
of
indigenous
services
Canada,
specifically
about
the
federal
indigenous
housing
strategy
that
up
until
really
until
last
Monday,
they
were
looking
at
creating
what
they
were
terming
nation-to-nation
housing
relationships
with
the
political
organizations,
but
it
didn't
specifically
address
the
urban
concerns.
The
overwhelming
majority
of
indigenous
people
in
this
country
are
in
urban
areas
and
in
Ontario,
specifically,
that
number
is
over
85%.
So
it's
significant.
It
is
the
driving
demographic
in
terms
of
service,
consideration
and
housing
is
such
an
important
part
of
what
we
are
as
a
community.
E
E
Confirming
an
intention
to
there
is
a
draft
framework
in
place
to
confirm
an
indigenous
Housing
Strategy,
with
the
in
full
involvement
of
the
urban
and
rural
indigenous
housing
providers
that
it
most
directly
affects
and
our
tenants-
and
there
is
an
intention
in
an
acknowledgement
at
the
federal
level
that
there
needs
to
be
a
fourth
stream
and
their
consideration
of
an
indigenous
Housing
Strategy
at
the
national
level.
That
includes
urban,
rural
and
northern
housing
as
part
of
that
framework.
C
C
D
C
It
possible
at
some
point
for
this
committee
to
learn
what
those
recommendations
are
that
we're
not
going
to
implement
or
tackle
in
the
short
term
too,
so
we're
aware
of
what
the
Commission
has
recommended.
Overall,
what
we
can
tackle
now
and
I
agree
with
you,
let's
try
and
accomplish
what
we
can
right
away,
but
it's
also
I
think
good
for
this
committee
to
understand
what
those
outstanding
issues
are
just
going
forward.
D
C
Can
be
accomplished
with
existing
budgets
from
the
various
departments
that
these
are
going
to
be
led
by
yes,
okay,
very
good.
The
report
talks
about
various
training
initiatives
for
city
staff
to
make
them.
You
know
more
aware,
with
whether
it's
cultural
awareness
or
or
other
opportunities,
you're
silent
on
elected
officials
and
I,
think
that
is
a
glaring
gap
in
this
report,
in
the
lack
of
training
awareness
sensitivities
that
all
speak
for
myself,
that
I
have
and
I'm
very
open
to
receiving.
Why
are
you
silent
in
that
regard?.
D
C
Suggest
that
before
this
reaches
the
council
floor,
we
work
on
wording
to
include
components
that
will
include
elected
officials.
I
think
that's
very
important.
I
think
it
sends
the
right
message
in
an
action
plan
that
we're
actually
including
the
duly
elected
officials,
in
that
they
should
not
be
excluded
for
any
reason,
I
think
we
agree,
but
can
we
get
some
wording
before?
When
does
this
come
to
council
with
him.
D
C
What
I'm
suggesting
is
that,
as
part
of
the
action
plan
that
council
is
going
to
discuss
next
week,
we
should
have
warning
not
not
the
specifics
of
how,
but
we
should
include
wording
that
if
there
is
cultural
training,
if
there
are
opportunities
for
elders
and
elected
officials
to
come
together
and
work,
which
is
which
is
absent
now
that
that
be
included
in
that
plan,
I'm
certainly
willing
to
work
with
you
in
the
clerk's
office
and
maybe
the
chair
but
I.
Think
madam
chair.
Something
can
be
included.
A
I'm,
ok
was
working
on
some
appropriate
wording
between
now
and
council.
I
do
think.
However,
there
were
plenty
of
opportunities
for
members
of
council
to
engage
if
they
choose
to
right
now.
I
know,
I
have
been
very
engaged
and
some
of
the
other
committee
members
have,
but
we
can
be
more
explicit
if
you
would
feel
better
about
that.
I
wouldn't
want
to
create
any
impression
that
we
have
left
elected
officials
out
and
elected
officials
have
been
quite
engaged
in
a
lot
of
this
work.
I
think.
C
It
sends
the
right
message
to
include
it,
and
so
that's
why
I
raised
it
this
morning.
Finally,
my
question
my
remaining
set
of
questions
is
about
consultation.
You
are
fairly
detailed
and
all
the
different
community
partners
that
have
been
engaged
and
involved
and
I'm
sure
they've
contributed
to
the
main
themes
or
issues
that
are
included
in
the
action
plan.
E
So
there
is
an
opportunity
to
update
the
Camellia
what
we're
doing
we
talked
about
what's
being
developed
and
worked
on,
and
they
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
feedback
and
input
and
receiving
that,
so
we
actually
get
away
if
this
is
ratified
through
a
community
process
and
vetted
through
the
coalition,
as
well
as
the
working
group
relationship
and
just
quickly
to
pick
up
on
the
point.
The
previous
point:
again,
the
intention
was
never
one
about
exclusion.
There's
been
an
open
invitation
and
I.
E
G
Thank
You
chair
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
report
and
action
plan.
I
just
had
one
question
a
little
bit
about
about
governance.
I
absolutely
think
that
you're
12
specific
actions
make
a
lot
of
sense
and
I
wanted
to
offer
an
example
of
an
action
that
might
be
of
interest
to
the
aboriginal
working
group.
It
isn't
on
the
agenda
and
I'm
wondering
how
one
would
advance
issues
that
come
up
on
an
ad
hoc
basis,
and
the
issue
which
is
kind
of
interesting
was
was
as
follows.
G
And
then,
of
course
you
know
the
question
would
be.
Would
it
be
fair
to
impose
the
cost
of
that
name
change
on
the
residents
themselves,
or
would
that
be
something
that
the
aboriginal
working
group
would
recommend
that
the
city
absorb
and
I'm
sure
that's
just
one
example
of
maybe
some
other
broader
issues
that
could
come
up
outside
of
the
specific
12
actions
and
so
I
guess
my
question
is
you
know?
Is
there
the
ability
for
these
types
of
issues
to
be
brought
forward
to
the
aboriginal
working
group?
If
so,
how
would
one
do
that?
G
C
Thank
You
chair
and
thanks
mark
gun
not
cleared
for
the
presentation.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
on
the
employment
aspect
and
you
talked
about
targets
or
goals
to
increase
the
number
of
Aboriginal
employees
in
the
city
of
bottle
and
I'm,
just
wondering
if
we
have
any
information
or
stats
on
the
current
makeup
of
that,
the
city,
what
our
targets
are
currently
and
what
we're
proposing
to
target
in
the
future.
I.
D
C
That
would
be
great
and
I
know
in
Donna
gray
shop,
which
I
guess
you're
a
part
of
the
diversity.
Inclusion,
you're
not
know
yeah
close
enough,
but
she's
working
on
on
that
age
are
men
interested
in
that
aspect.
But
you
talk
in
the
report
about
different
sort
of
measures
to
reach
out
to
those
communities
and
let
them
know
about
those
jobs
in
that
employ
I'm,
just
interested
in
knowing
I.
Don't
know
if
there's
a
preliminary
framework
about
that,
but
how
you
would
be
targeting
those
individuals,
because
I
suspect
right
now.
C
The
percentage
of
aboriginals
that
are
employed
with
the
city's
fairly
low
I.
Don't
know
that
perfect,
but
I
suspect
that
otherwise,
you
probably
would
have
had
some
more
information
on
that
in
their
report.
So
if
you
can
talk
about
what
exactly
or
some
preliminary
thoughts
about
how
we
would
be
targeting
that
that
outreach
that
you
reference
in
the
report.
E
Well,
there's
a
couple
of
ways
in
which
we're
tackling
this
one.
We
have
regular
job
fairs
where
there
is
an
information
exchange
in
an
engagement
with
community
and
youth
for
opportunity
in
the
city,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
that
Donna
gray
has
been
trying
to
advance
and
we're
working
with
cachito
Meachem,
which
is
our
employment
training
organization
here
in
the
city
as
well
as
other
members
of
the
coalition,
is
to
identify
individuals
at
an
earlier
age
that
are
interested
in
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
city
as
a
career.
E
E
The
city
already
has
an
excellent
summer
employment
program
and
the
Leadership
Program,
and
we
want
to
build
on
that.
The
best
way
to
do
that
is
at
least
through
the
community.
Through
the
coalition
members
and
our
community
organizations
is
to
identify
people
so
I
mean
I've
got
through
gig
no
housing.
We've
got
roughly
450
tenants
that
have
education
and
experience
and
skill
sets
or
interest
in
pursuing
something.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
identify
them
and
that
they're
they
have
something
broader
that
they
can
feed
into.
E
And
you
know
the
other
11
member
10
members
of
the
coalition.
We
could
emulate
the
same
thing,
whether
from
a
woman's
perspective
from
a
health
perspective,
but
there's
broader
community
engagement
intentional
to
lead
to
employment.
So
we've
got
a
good
partnership
and
a
stronger
commitment
from
the
city
to
explore
how
we
actually
do
that
together
and.
E
E
And
you
know
up-
and
it's
such
a
nuanced
relationship,
because
our
relationship
with
the
school
boards
has
really
been
about
awareness
about
who
we
are
and
what
we
offer
in
the
community
and
what
the
community
looks
like
and
then
an
education
process
that
goes
back
and
forth
between
what
the
school
boards
do
and
how
they
operate,
and
what
the
community
expects
and
needs
in
terms
of
inclusion
engagement.
But
the
notion
is,
we
want
to
see
better
educational
attainment
that
will
then
set
them
up
for
better
training
opportunities
and
for
advancement
in
the
labor
force.
E
So
everything
related
to
education
is
like
a
mutual
fund
and
the
return
on
investment
is
how
they
participate
in
the
labor
force.
And
it's
it's
really
been.
You
know
more
of
a
business
approach
that
we've
that
we've
tried
to
apply
to
how
we're
orienting
our
work
and
our
relationships
to
pay
off
and
I
think
there
is
a
much
bigger
commitment
from
the
city
to
make
something
happen.
That's
achievable,
but
you
know
we're
right
at
the
front.
End
of
this
and
I
think
the
right
people
are
involved.
E
D
B
With
with
respect
to
the
representation
of
the
aboriginals
of
the
city,
it's
currently
1.5
percent
and
we
had
the
goal
of
raising
that
to
2
percent
during
2018
and
just
with
respect
to
the
recruitment
and
outreach
we're
currently
embarking
on
a
formalized
recruitment
and
outreach
strategy
in
2018,
and
really
that
will
involve
a
working
building
relationship
with
the
Aboriginal
community.
To
really
understand
the
barriers
and
the
challenges
with
respect
to
employment.
At
the
end
of
May.
G
E
The
relationship
with
Ottawa
Public
Health
is
pretty
deep
and
widespread,
because
one
of
the
other
things
that
we're
working
collectively
through
the
coalition
is
an
Ottawa
specific
indigenous
health
strategy.
So
that's
much
broader
and
much
more
comprehensive
and
it's
a
bigger
engagement,
not
just
with
Waldo,
but
also
with
occlusive
ik,
which
is
the
Inuit
Health
Centre.
E
So
there
is
again
an
intention
to
do
something
broader,
that
the
dental
clinic
is
really
an
expression
of
what's
possible
and
anything
that
that
Waldo
is
touched
by
and
large
has
been
extremely
successful.
So
partnerships
with
other
city
departments,
the
return
is
exceptional,
they're,
a
solid
organization,
one
of
the
the
stronger
partners
that
we
have
around
the
coalition
table
and
their
engagement
with
other
city
departments
is
reflective
of
that
type
of
strength
and
relationship
building
as
well.
So
I
can't
say
that
there's
anything,
that's
not
been
met
explicitly.
G
Thank
you
very
much
mark
for
that
and
again
coming
back
to
the
relationship
factor
that
you
continue
to
talk
about.
I,
think
in
terms
of
the
partnership
between
the
city
departments
and
to
the
private
partners
or
public
partners
of
in
the
community
is
a
key
and
the
relationships
that
you're
building
through
this
process.
I
think
is
an
everlasting
relationship.
I
know
talking
to
the
staff
at
public
health
they're
committed
to
this
partnership
at
least
they're.
G
A
F
This
manner,
because
dolt,
when
does
the
City
of
Ottawa
plan
to
begin
using
an
automated
online
portal
to
show
parents
where
vacant
licensed
spaces
are
available
across
the
city
and
to
the
current
funding
model
for
childcare
providers,
include
a
portion
that
is
based
on
the
number
of
subsidized
children
served
at
that
point.
Will
the
city
revisit
the
funding
model
towards
the
the
goals
of
the
renewed
provincial
framework?
Thank.
