Aboriginal Community Advocacy Program

Do you want to be at the centre of leadership and change in Aboriginal Communities? Are you interested in a dynamic career involving cooperation and negotiation between the Aboriginal and Canadian societies? The “Aboriginal Community Advocacy Program” is a unique program that provides you with the opportunity to become an agent of change in your community. (formerly Aboriginal Law and Advocacy Program)

As an Advocate you are committed to working with Aboriginal peoples and communities in the promotion of social justice, self determination and self government.  You understand the need for careful research, analysis and strategic action in the promotion of proactive and healthy change.  An interest in consultation, mediation and finding common ground are your foundations for thoughtful problem solving.

At the heart of your career direction are public education, restorative justice, political, legal or social advocacy, and community development that require you to know and understand the Aboriginal context within Canadian society.

Alumni Viewpoint

The Aboriginal Community Advocacy program lays the groundwork for the understanding of how Aboriginal People exist within Canada's legal, political and historical framework.  At the same time, the program empowers students to strive for and attain their own sovereignty and autonomy.  This program has truly laid the foundation for my life's work.
