Aboriginal Peoples

The Employment Equity Act defines Aboriginal peoples as people who are Indians, Inuit or Métis.

The Act includes Aboriginal peoples as a designated group because they have faced—and continue to face—barriers to employment.

The following links provide recent statistics on Aboriginal peoples, highlights from the Employment Equity Act Annual Report and additional resources related to the employment of Aboriginal peoples.
