Library and Archives Canada launches funding and services to help preserve Indigenous culture and language recording
Deadline to apply: July 17, 2019 by noon PDT Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is pleased to announce the launch of its Listen, Hear Our Voicesinitiative, which offers funding and digitization services to preserve Indigenous culture and language recordings. This initiative is part of the institution’s Indigenous Documentary Heritage Initiatives (IDHI). This initiative provides funding of up to $100,000 per project to eligible Indigenous organizations to digitize existing culture and language recordings, and to help them build the skills, knowledge and resources they need to carry out this work in their communities. LAC invites all eligible Indigenous organizations to submit their applications by noon on July 17, 2019 (Pacific Daylight Time). Interested parties can find guidelines, eligibility criteria and the application form on the preserve Indigenous culture and language recordings web page. An Indigenous review committee, external to LAC and comprised of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation representatives from across Canada, will review applications and make recommendations for funding. Indigenous organizations, individuals, collectors and creators can also receive digitization services from LAC for their existing culture and language recordings. LAC accepts all formats of recordings and digitizes them at the Preservation Centre in Gatineau, Quebec. LAC will send back all original and digital files after digitization. As part of the Government of Canada’s reconciliation efforts, LAC is working to support Indigenous communities as they seek to preserve and make accessible their existing audio and video heritage. To further this work and recognize Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and the Métis Nation, LAC has created the Indigenous Heritage Action Plan. The action plan consists of 28 concrete actions that LAC will undertake over the next five years. |

With several policy wins under our belt, it is time to shift our mandate slightly, and take on the role of holding the Government of Canada accountable to the commitment they have made to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. In 2019, we will be focusing on the development of provincial/territorial Hep C Elimination Plans/STBBI Implementation Plans that are oriented toward the elimination of viral hepatitis.

A variety of external stakeholders and experts were consulted in the development of the survey questions. The survey included questions on STBBI related knowledge, risk behaviors, testing and stigma. Canadians' awareness, knowledge and attitudes related to sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections : 2018 findings report is now posted on the Library and Archives Canada website for your reference. |

The Canada Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) has reaffirmed its commitment to the calls to action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and has prioritized the need for the federal research granting agencies to co-develop, with Indigenous communities, a strategic plan to grow the capacity of Indigenous communities to conduct research and partner with the broader research community. The committee is launching an online engagement initiative, which is hosted on the Government of Canada’s collaborative and networking tool, GCCollab, and will seek assistance in identifying individuals interested in participating. The results of this engagement will contribute to the co-development with Indigenous peoples, of the strategic plan to be presented to the CRCC in early Spring 2019.
All interested parties may express their interest by sending an email to: Indigenous-Autochtone@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca. |
