We Create Opportunities

The Aboriginal Relations Council leads a strategy that contains, at its core, three pillars - building and enhancing knowledge, building and enhancing relationships, and building and enhancing capacity within and between the Aboriginal Community and Winnipeg's community at large.

The strategy combines and leverages the strengths of the Aboriginal community, the youngest and fastest growing part of Winnipeg's population, as well as the strengths of United Way, in a collective effort to make Winnipeg a measurably better city today and for the future.

In an ongoing effort, the Aboriginal Relations Council has increased the involvement of Aboriginal people and leaders within all parts of United Way's work. It continues to assist organizations throughout the community in creating their own strategies for engaging with the Aboriginal community and building the understanding of, and relationships with, each other and with United Way of Winnipeg.

Developed by the Aboriginal Task Group at United Way of Winnipeg, the Eagle's Eye View environmental scan provides a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive, integrated, and holistic snapshot of the Aboriginal community in Winnipeg. It focuses on the successes and capacities of the Aboriginal community, not just the challenges – a distinction that makes it unique amongst other documents and an invaluable resource to all members of the community.
