The strategy focuses on raising awareness of and preventing violence; providing more effective programs and community services that reflect the priorities of Indigenous leaders and communities; and improving socio-economic conditions that support healing within Indigenous communities.

Over the past year, Ontario and Indigenous partners have come together to plan, design and implement the government's strategy to end the cycle of violence and help ensure Indigenous women and girls can live their lives the way they deserve — with safety and respect. Ontario is making progress across the strategy's six areas of action: supporting children, youth and families; community safety and healing; policing and justice; prevention and awareness; leadership, collaboration, alignment and accountability; and improved data and research.

The Urban Indigenous Action Plan supports reconciliation between urban Indigenous communities, the provincial government and the broader public service by:

  • Recognizing relationships and culture as the foundational requirements for policy and program development; and,
  • Guiding government and the broader public service to develop responsive, inclusive policies, programs and evaluations with, and that meet the needs of, urban Indigenous communities.

The Urban Indigenous Action Plan works to achieve improved community outcomes based on the ongoing and future work of provincial strategies, with a continued focus on addressing the TRC's Calls to Action. It is anticipated that the implementation of the proposed action areas will support areas highlighted by the TRC, including reconciliation, education, the child welfare system, health and healthcare, involvement in the justice system and overall wellbeing.

The Ontario Public Service has a responsibility to lead by example by driving innovation and excellence in public policy development and service delivery. Our organization must also ensure all people are served equitably – including public service employees. To create an equitable OPS, we need to recognize that there are systemic racism barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. We need to recognize that histories of colonialism and slavery have resulted in institutionalized inequity for Indigenous, Black and racialized people.

Women in Ontario have long faced barriers to their success, including gender bias, discrimination and the undervaluing of female-dominated work. For generations, women have found ways to overcome these barriers — through collaboration, persistence and incredible tenacity. But barriers still exist. Far too many women have limited choices for the kind of work they do; or face limits on how far their careers can go. And in turn, they don't benefit equally from the economy and the economy doesn't benefit from the many and varied skills, qualifications and experiences that women have to offer.

Ontario's economy is performing well. This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province.

At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs.
