Call to Action # 66: Youth Programs (66)

Budget 2019 investments in Indigenous Youth pilot program

September 3, 2019

The Government of Canada, through Budget 2019, has allocated $15.2 million over three years, starting in 2019-20, for an Indigenous youth pilot program delivered by the Canadian Roots Exchange. This pilot program will establish a national network that reflects the diversity amongst Indigenous youth; support reconciliation-focused youth activities across Canada, including urban, northern and remote communities; and recommend a longer term sustainable approach to the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action 66.
