There is near consensus that the conditions of Aboriginal peoples in Canada rank as one of our most serious shortcomings as a nation. Unacceptable gaps separate Aboriginal people from other Canadians in terms of education attainment, employment and housing, and Aboriginal communities continue to report disproportionately high rates of fetal alcohol syndrome, teen suicides, and chronic diseases such as diabetes.
Evidence is mounting that sound governance is a necessary condition for communities and nations to make rapid progress in improving the well-being of their citizens. The IOG works with individuals, organizations and governments to create new initiatives for this important area.
