Supporting Reconciliation
designs to accommodate the unique cultural and community needs of Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations (such as single and multi-person housing; gathering spaces; larger
issues or priorities arise (e.g., global pandemic, state of emergency, natural disaster); create a plan to maintain communication on the status of this pause and to ensure that work is “restarted” in a respectful way. Assess the specific comments regarding program flexibility received to date through this initial engagement. Collate the flexibility considerations into categories and frame as a set of defining questions. Communicate with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations to seek more specific input. Review any changes to the program to increase flexibility with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations. Review current communication messaging and timing under the Indigenous Housing Program. Develop a communication strategy for the Indigenous Housing Fund which includes more frequent communication. Seek feedback from Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations on the revised communication plans. Develop a decision flow diagram for the Indigenous Housing Fund and determine what decisions are made at each stage and who is involved. Review this flow diagram based on the comments received to date from Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations. Create a decision-making lens document to share and discuss with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations to jointly
kitchens; housing to accommodate multi- generational families).
Communicate with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations early in the program design stage and be upfront about the process and mandatory requirements.
Phase 2 Devolve decision-making
power to Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations on all matters impacting them by establishing a standard practice of collaborating and
sharing power with Indigenous peoples.
