The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples is urging all those randomly selected to take part in the Indigenous Peoples Survey conducted by Statistics Canada and share vital information that will help sculpt policies throughout the country.
“The Indigenous Survey is an important tool that helps identify the challenges and issues Indigenous people face from coast to coast,” CAP National Chief Elmer St. Pierre, “Indigenous people across the country have very different needs and its crucial governments and organizations are able to clearly identify those needs to ensure the proper supports and programs are in place”.
The Indigenous people survey is a National Survey of First Nations people living off reserve Metis and Inuit living in Canada. The 2022 IPS is a thematic survey with a social and economics related to education, employment, health, and access to services. It will continue to collect important information concerning Indigenous people such as language, harvesting, handcrafting and cultural activities, housing, and mobility.
CAP hopes all Indigenous people selected to take part will take the time to complete it and help governments address our pressing needs.
