The challenge

Calgary is a city of opportunity, but with one in ten Calgarians living below the poverty line, not everyone is able to access this opportunity equally. In particular, urban Indigenous people in Calgary experience higher than average rates of poverty and unemployment. This poverty, fuelled by historical injustices as well as prevailing prejudicial attitudes towards Indigenous people, has a negative impact on health outcomes, graduation rates and quality of life.
