History
The Edmonton Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee (EAUAC) was formed as a partnership between the Aboriginal Community and the City of Edmonton in 1994. A volunteer committee, its membership was composed of Indigenous members and non-Indigenous members who were appointed by Edmonton City Council. The Committee, one of the first of its kind in Canada, served in an advisory capacity to Edmonton City Council as well as to the Edmonton City Administration by developing initiatives such as building and supporting good relations between the City and Indigenous people and organizations through projects, increasing Indigenous participation in the City of Edmonton Workforce, and by providing leadership in the renewal of the Urban Aboriginal Accord. Although EAUAC has not been formally dissolved, the Committee has remained dormant since approximately 2011, the date of its last meeting.
