Aboriginal Canada Portal

I thought this could be a useful website, it's the number one online go-to for questions concerning contact information, government programs and organizations, services, and resources for the Aboriginal community. The site is a partnership between government departments and the Aboriginal community, allowing information delivery and quality service on hand.

The goal of the site is to continue to evolve into a virtual forum in which:

- All Aboriginal stakeholders (Aboriginal peoples, organizations and government policy and program developers) may locate, discuss and share information, views, services, successes and issues amongst one another.

- Act as a central gateway to increase the awareness of Aboriginal Peoples history, heritage, traditions and Aboriginal community successes among Aboriginal Peoples and non-Aboriginal Canadians.

The site is arranged by topic, from areas concerning health care to education, alcohol and drug abuse to employment and housing, every question you can think of is easily accessible, and if the answers are not listed right away there are direct lines of communication to people who can help the Aboriginals out. At least this is being done :) I thought I'd add a plus side to the rest of my articles.
