Cultural safety
How can we provide and develop cultural safety for Indigenous people living in urban areas?
Today, the city is home to a diverse indigenous population, and it is essential that we take into account all dynamics of coexistence and the relationship between different members of the Montreal community. Indigenous people are resistant to accessing certain public services due to a lack of trust, reinforcing a sense of alienation and intimidation. Having a better overview of public services will help improve a sense of safety, dignity and respect for them.

Although Montreal’s urban areas offer many opportunities for Indigenous people, several safety issues and socioeconomic disparities remain. In developing the projects, students have examined relationships between public services and Indigenous communities, promoting, recognizing and involving Indigenous knowledge in the city.
This map is intended to highlight locations offering services which may be of interest to Indigenous people. The tab on the right side of the screen allows you to choose which types of services you want to display on the map.
