The ALIGN INDIGENOUS CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING FRAMEWORK (ICUF)

ICUF – Fee for Service

ALIGN is pleased to share a Journey to Indigenous Cultural Understanding in Alberta. This tool has been developed with consultation and guidance from elders, ALIGN members, youth, and members of the Indigenous Cultural Understanding Advisory group. We understand that this is a journey, and this tool is intended to be a living document; changing, flowing, and moving over time. Available in both oral and written form, this learning has been purposely created to support agencies to walk together with First Nations and to create a principle-based place for individuals to begin conversations that will become a foundation for moving forward in parallel.

This resource is available on the ALIGN website in hopes of expanding teachings and learning to a broad audience. If your agency could benefit from a guided consultation, ALIGN will be offering a fee-for-service opportunity. Additional information will be posted on our website soon and shared at our upcoming ALIGN Annual General Meeting on November 21, 2022, in Red Deer.

2022 Report of the National Advisory Council on Poverty

In this report, they note the significant progress made in reducing poverty in Canada. While this is great news, they also note that deep inequities remain for certain populations made most marginal in our society. Reductions in poverty rates may be difficult to maintain in the years to come as we grapple with issues such as record inflation, long-term impacts of the pandemic and the phasing out of emergency supports.
