Budget 2020: What's the sector asking for?

Budget 2020 is just around the corner. This year, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance requested submissions on the topic of Climate Emergency: The Required Transition to a Low Carbon Economy.

Many charities and nonprofits from across the country took part in the pre-budget consultation process, asking that their priorities be included in the next federal budget. Their submissions provide a great snapshot of what the sector cares about in 2020.

In Indigenous nonprofit governance, values matter more than tools

With the implementation of the Gradual Civilization and Gradual Enfranchisement sections of the Indian Act in 1876, Indigenous peoples across Canada have continually faced racism, discrimination, exploitation, and domination. The Act, designed for the purpose of assimilating Indigenous communities into the dominant system and eradicating any traditional ways of life, is a continual source of trauma, impoverishment, and a detriment to the social fabric of Indigenous communities, Nations, and families.
