Statistics Canada presents Aboriginal Strategies 2009, a solutions-based three-day conference on how data is being used in Aboriginal communities in the western provinces and northern territories.

Aboriginal Strategies 2009 provides a venue for Aboriginal community leaders and developers, local policy makers, decision-makers, and practitioners to share how data can be used to build vibrant sustainable communities.

The three-day conference will showcase successes by sharing knowledge, experiences, best practices and challenges in five different areas: children, families and youth; economic development and labour market; health and well-being; the North; urban Aboriginal population.

This diverse range of topics reflects the complexity of Aboriginal communities and will serve to provide a better understanding of the quality of life for First Nations, Métis and Inuit people.
