Aboriginal Peoples Survey: Health of the Métis population, 2006

In 2006, just over half (54%) of all Métis aged 15 and over reported that
they had been diagnosed with a chronic condition, about the same as in 2001.
In most cases, Métis had higher rates of chronic conditions than people
in the total population.

Aboriginal Peoples Survey, 2006

The Aboriginal Peoples Survey is a national survey of Aboriginal peoples (First Nations people living off-reserve, Métis and Inuit) living in urban, rural and northern locations throughout Canada. The survey provides valuable data on the social and economic conditions of Aboriginal children and youth (6-14 years) and Aboriginal people (15 years and over). It was conducted previously in 1991 and in 2001. The survey was designed and implemented in partnership with national Aboriginal organizations. The purpose of the Aboriginal Peoples Survey was to provide data on the social and economic conditions of Aboriginal people in Canada. More specifically, its purpose was to identify the needs of Aboriginal people and focus on issues such as health, language, employment, income, schooling, housing, and mobility. More detailed information about the survey is available in the APS 2006 Concepts and Methods Guide.

Mining Information Kit for Aboriginal Communities

A new educational tool, The Mining Information Kit for Aboriginal Communities,
will inform Aboriginal communities across Canada about all the stages of
the mining cycle from early exploration to mine closure. This information
kit will help Aboriginal peoples better understand mining activities and
identify the many opportunities that mining can bring to communities.
