2011 Category 3: Canada Europe and North America Canada 2011 Category 3 — 1st Place Winner Initiative: 1034 – Creation of Ministry and Strategic Course of Action for Reconciliation with Aboriginal People Institution: Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs Description The socio-economic conditions of Aboriginal people in Canada have been much lower than the non-Aboriginal population. Historical grievances regarding land claims and reconciliation remain an issue for the Aboriginal population, as the land claim process has been slow and inefficient. The Ontario Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs (MMA) adopted measures to streamline the research and assessment of land claims and claim assertions so as to expedite the process of addressing land claims. MMA has promoted collaboration across ministries on policy and program initiatives, plays a facilitative role for Aboriginal people, achieves more strategic federal engagement, promotes broader awareness and understanding of Aboriginal peoples and issues, and provides corporate leadership for communication and messaging on corporate aboriginal issues. 43
