Objective

Provision of instructional, training and counselling services
related to the Aboriginal Programs offered
through the Canadian Defence Academy (CDA).

Background

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has been instrumental in the
development of a number of essential   Aboriginal programs. The
role of CDA in relation to Aboriginal training and education is
to increase       Aboriginal awareness and cultural knowledge
for CAF personnel and to develop leadership opportunities for
Aboriginal peoples. 

The CDA has the mandate to manage and conduct these programs.

The presence of Aboriginal Facilitators, Counsellors, Culture
Camp Coordinators, Guest Speakers and Elders representing the
three (3) main Aboriginal groups (First Nation, Métis, Inuit) is
seen as essential for the overall success of those programs.

Resources must be available on as "as and when requested' basis
throughout the duration of the Contract.
