Building relationships, creating opportunities
Winnipeg's Aboriginal community has experienced a great deal of change over the last few years. It is young, vibrant and expected to grow faster than any other segment of our population.
"Aboriginal people, like all human beings, aren't static in time," said Dr. Judy Bartlett, member of United Way's Aboriginal Relations Council. "Things change and flow and move forward. The environment in Winnipeg is different now than it was just five years ago. We have a whole new group of young people coming in."
United Way's Aboriginal Relations Strategy builds on the strengths of the Aboriginal community - and the strengths of United Way - in a collective effort to make Winnipeg a better city today and for the future.
Over the past several years, the Aboriginal Relations Council has increased the involvement of Winnipeg's Aboriginal community in all aspects of United Way's work. And between 2004 and 2009, United Way's investment in Aboriginal-led non-profit organizations has increased by more than 100 per cent (from $610,075 to more than $1.3 million).
