Urban Aboriginal Strategy (UAS)
The Urban Aboriginal Strategy, a national initiative funded by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), is designed to reduce the level of disparity between urban Aboriginal peoples and other Canadians by better tailoring government programs to local needs and priorities.
Up until March 31, 2007, Service Canada was responsible for delivering the UAS in Ontario (Thunder Bay and Toronto) and Saskatchewan (Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert), while Western Economic Diversification Canada delivered the initiative in British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba.
As of April 1, 2007, responsibility for implementation of the UAS was assumed by the Office of the Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians, a division of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.
