Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee Review
The Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee (AAAC) is one of Toronto’s Council Advisory Bodies, established by Council and which typically includes Council Members and the public. The AAAC and other Council Advisory Bodies follow similar processes, provide advice to City Council, and are one of many ways the City engages the public and subject matter experts on City and Council priorities.
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.
Led by Indigenous facilitators, past AAAC members and interested community members are being engaged through interviews, in-person sessions and an online survey. The general public is also invited to offer input through the online survey. The facilitators will present findings and recommendations to the City Manager, who will report in fall 2023 for public and City Council consideration.
The survey closes at:
5:00 PM (EDT) June 16, 2023.
For questions about this consultation, or if you would prefer to offer your thoughts in another way, please contact: engagement@toronto.ca.
