End Date: March 31, 2009
Description: The program supports eligible Aboriginal Organizations and/or other recipients for the purpose of providing advocacy and public education on a diverse range of issues related to the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. The relationships developed with Aboriginal groups allow the Government to: (1) improve the quality of departmental decisions, (2) identify
where changes may be necessary to enhance service delivery, and (3) ensure the Aboriginal community is informed of the benefits available through the Settlement Agreement.
Strategic Outcome: To advance reconciliation among former students of Indian Residential Schools and the Government of Canada.
Results Achieved: The APIP program was successful in the dissemination of information on the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement by providing funding to 27 Aboriginal partner organizations who conducted various gatherings and forums for Indian Residential School Survivors across Canada. Partner organizations
provided information and support such as financial planning seminars, abuse prevention and photo exhibits to contribute to an ongoing healing and reconciliation process for Indian Residential School Survivors. These partnerships ensured that information on Indian Residential Schools was communicated effectively to Aboriginal communities across Canada and that feedback was received on
the implementation of the IRSSA.
