Recommendation 7:
Across Canada, funding for education and supports for Indigenous people onand off-reserve are grossly inadequate. Provincial systems for youth in care, also disproportionately Indigenous, often do not meet their needs. As a result, Indigenous youth often struggle to support themselves when they try to escape abusive circumstances. The federal government should increase broad-based supports, including through funding to Indigenous communities for self-administered education, vocational training, housing programs, income assistance, employment programs, and health and addictions services, based in Indigenous traditions. This would position Indigenous people to decide whether they want to participate in the sex industry, and if so, under what conditions.

Recommendation 20:
“Tenant retention strategy.” As with the experience of the BIA, the “lack of succession planning makes retention challenging.” Due to the contributions that traditional businesses make to the neighbourhood character, through intangible values with the social and cultural connections they hold, we recommend that a working group be formed to come up with options that the City, other levels of government, as well as other stakeholders can implement to assist with succession planning of these businesses. Namely, to explore how traditional businesses can succeed in becoming community- and membership- owned entities. Applying cooperative values can serve the community/membership as well as democratizing ownership and economics of the business.
