The survey demonstrated that people were aware of the history of indigenous people, and
therefore, they showed interest in attending the events for the indigenous people. It also
discussed that people had an interest in improving the services of the people in Canada.
However, the survey revealed that lack of awareness and knowledge of the people regarding
the Aboriginal services have created issues for this community.
The presence of several strengths has increased the opportunities for this Aboriginal
Community. Among all the opportunities, it is essential for people to improve the services of
the indigenous people. Hence the next step is to be taken by the Canadian government to
improve their services.
