Halifax Coalition for Indigenous Peoples
The Halifax Coalition for Urban Indigenous Peoples is a project funded by Indigenous Services Canada (ISC). The Coalition consists of organizations (Indigenous and non-Indigenous lead), governmental departments and service providers in Kjipuktuk (HRM) working together for the betterment of the urban Indigenous community.
Our Goals
The Coalition strives to develop strategic partnerships between organizations to address multiple barriers the urban Indigenous community face on a daily basis along with developing long-term solutions to help make Kjipuktuk a place where Indigenous people are valued, respected, supported and experience a sense of belonging.
Our Focus
The Coalition has a core membership with three sub-working groups. Each group meeting provides networking opportunities, relationship building, and collaborations, all for the advancement of the urban Indigenous community. These working groups meet monthly to focus on the following:
Housing and Homelessness
Education, Employment and Training
Health and Mental Wellness
The Coalition will also continue to guide the community planning and work on the implementation of the Halifax Urban Indigenous Community Strategy.
