Indigenous

Focus Groups

You are invited to participate in a series of Indigenous Focus Groups to inform the development of the Community Development Plan (CDP) for the Update Downsview study area.

These meetings will be held virtually via Zoom. If selected, the videoconference link will be shared with participants prior to the session.

A $200 honorarium will be provided. 

To qualify, selected participants will be expected to be engaged in the dialogue, with their cameras 'on', and participate fully.

What is a Community Development Plan?

A Community Development Plan (CDP) is a framework for the implementation of prioritized actions and identified resources that ensure equitable opportunities for Indigenous communities, residents, community groups, agencies, businesses, local anchor institutions and other rights-holders and stakeholders of the Update Downsview Study Area and surrounding communities.
