Aboriginal Engagement

Success By 6 recognizes the importance of culture, language, self-determination and self-government to Aboriginal people in BC and is working with Aboriginal communities to enhance the lives of young Aboriginal children and their families. In recognition of the diversity of Aboriginal people in BC, Success By 6 has begun implementing an Aboriginal Strategy designed to work with Aboriginal communities to increase representation in Success By 6 initiatives, strengthen community capacity, increase cultural awareness of Success By 6 partners, and promote awareness of the importance of the early years in the healthy development of children in communities. Success By 6 has dedicated $1 million towards implementing this strategy, with the funds distributed to 20 initiatives in BC.

For more information about Success By 6, the Aboriginal Strategy or the Aboriginal ECD funds, please contact your local Success By 6 Coordinator or Marcia Dawson, Provincial Aboriginal Manager at marciad@successby6bc.ca
