City Council has proposed a new approach for the AAAC for this Council term and is seeking input from Indigenous communities on how this committee could work. The AAAC has operated in the same way for many years, and during the last Council term some AAAC members and Indigenous community members requested changes to the committee, including its membership and how it provides advice.
From February to June 2023, Indigenous facilitators engaged past AAAC members and interested community members through interviews, in-person sessions and an online survey. The general public were also invited to offer input through the online survey. The facilitators will present findings and recommendations to the City Manager, who will consider next steps.
