The City receives Indigenous focused advice and recommendations through the Aboriginal Affairs Committee (AAC), an advisory body to City Council. Members are made up of Executive Directors and/or Designates from the organizations and institutions in Toronto serving Toronto’s Indigenous communities. The AAC regularly requests information and input from City staff and community organizations to assist them in their advisory role to City Council.
Any advice or recommendations regarding Aboriginal Peoples that require action or implementation by staff must be considered by the Aboriginal Affairs Committee and approved by City Council.
