St Session: Chiefs Organization and Canadians Need

st session: We already expect and accept that new Canadians need a lot of help when they come here, according to CBC. But we don't think about that so easily about our Indigenous people when they move from community to city. Much like we do for new Canadians, including helping them find apartments and getting IDs and all those things we think are easy to do they're not quite so easy, she said. North Wilson stressed that point at the United Nations in New York City on Monday, when she spoke at a conference during the 61st session of the Commission on the Status of Women. Other members of the delegation included representatives from the University of Winnipeg's Global College, the Southern Chiefs Organization and Ma Mawi Chi Itata Centre. She was part of a 16-member delegation that made presentations to the UN and one of five people who talked about the risks facing Indigenous Canadians transitioning from life on a rural reserve to life in an urban environment.
