What it does

The Department is supporting the efforts of Indigenous communities in sustainable economic development, sustainable food, social and green infrastructure, natural resources and environmental management. The Community Economic Development program (through the Lands and Economic Development Services Program, and the Community Opportunity Readiness Program) supports eligible First Nations and Inuit communities in the provinces in advancing their business development and economic growth. In addition, the Strategic Partnerships Initiative, a whole of government program whose secretariat is housed within the Department, works to support First Nations, Inuit, and Métis participation in large-scale economic development opportunities. These programs provide support for the development of Indigenous capacity and the building of relationships with partners, through investments in the development of public and private sector partnerships, participation in targeted economic development opportunities, planning and economic development services and capacity building supports. These investments result in the establishment of regulatory certainty and the capacity to participate in economic opportunities, thereby, enabling Indigenous Peoples and communities to achieve greater self-reliance and sustainable economic prosperity.
