"Strategically planning for Services within our Community”

 
The Metro Vancouver Aboriginal Executive Council (MVAEC) is a Council of Executive Directors from over twenty Aboriginal community organizations who are working together to create positive change for those that we serve. We meet regularly to discuss municipal, regional, provincial, and federal issues as they pertain to the off-reserve urban Metro Vancouver Aboriginal population. Our overall goal is to ensure that urban Aboriginal issues are considered, included, and meaningfully addressed at all levels.
 
We believe that urban issues are very important as over 60% of the Aboriginal population now live in large urban settings, yet very little funding is being allocated to meet their unique needs. Our members are leaders in many areas including youth, children & families, justice, health, housing, women, family violence, and many other important issues that are affecting our community. We work with all levels of government, First Nations leadership, the private sector, and others to help them better understand our needs, how addressing challenges in the Aboriginal community also benefits all Canadians, and how they can help to contribute to fostering positive change
