| + | ===Urban Indigenous People=== |
| + | * 25% of First Nations people live in medium- to large-sized urban centres. |
| + | * In addition, many people who identify themselves as Indigenous, but are not associated with a specific group reside in urban centres. |
| + | * The urban Indigenous population tends to be young and very mobile, changing residences frequently. |
| + | * First Nations individuals will often move from home communities (i.e. Reserves to urban settings and back). |
| + | * This high rate of mobility creates some challenges for accessing and providing services, particularly services such as education, employment training and housing. |
| + | * While some individuals will access services through their specific community organizations, others do not associate with or have connections to such communities. |
