Canada Cannot and need not allow yet another generation of Indigenous citizens to languish in poverty.
At a time when workforce replacement and skilled labour shortages occupy the attention of both business and government alike, the youngest and
fastest growing demographic in the country struggles in poverty. But that
poverty is neither inevitable nor immutable.
Transformative change is clearly possible, desirable and required. It is
a question of will on the part of all Canadians. The will to learn the full history of this country and its legacy, to understand the positive role governments can play, and to advocate for an end to the poverty experienced by
Indigenous children. It is up to all of us.
