Résumé
Through this 38-month project, Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people, with a focus on individuals impacted by GBV in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon. This will be achieved by developing and implementing administrative, human resource (HR), occupational health and safety policies, and exploring and developing an enhanced governance structure.
By the end of the project, Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV by developing clear and concise job descriptions, an HR and financial policy that will allow it to continue to provide health and healing services to a northern indigenous population that suffer from the generational trauma of residential schools and other government actions. These documents will allow the organization to recruit and retain indigenous employees. Through this project, an occupational health and safety policy will be prepared, as required by the Worker’s Safety and Compensation Commission (WSCC), for its urban wellness camp that will allow the camp to continue to operate in a safe manner. Finally, the project will allow Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation to map out its current and future governance structure, incorporating traditional values and beliefs.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 38 mois, l’Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation améliorera sa capacité de prévention et de lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe envers les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQI+ autochtones, en mettant l’accent sur les personnes visées par la violence fondée sur le sexe dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, le Nunavut et le Yukon. L’organisme y parviendra en élaborant et en mettant en œuvre des politiques administratives, de ressources humaines (RH) et de santé et sécurité au travail, et en explorant et en créant une structure de gouvernance améliorée.
À la fin du projet, l’Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation aura amélioré sa capacité de prévention et de lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe en élaborant des descriptions de poste claires et concises, une politique de ressources humaines et financières qui lui permettra de continuer à fournir des services de santé et de guérison à une population autochtone du Nord qui souffre du traumatisme générationnel des pensionnats et d’autres actions du gouvernement. Ces documents permettront à l’organisation de recruter des membres du personnel autochtones et de les maintenir en poste. Grâce à ce projet, une politique de santé et de sécurité au travail sera préparée, comme l’exige la Commission de la sécurité au travail et de l’indemnisation des travailleurs (CSTIT), pour son camp de bien-être urbain qui permettra au camp de continuer à fonctionner de manière sécuritaire. Enfin, le projet permettra à l’Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation d’établir sa structure de gouvernance actuelle et future, en incorporant les valeurs et les croyances traditionnelles.
