Partout au Canada, un trop grand nombre d’enfants autochtones grandissent dans des foyers, des écoles et des milieux de garde qui nuisent à leur santé. Ce rapport fournit l’orientation politique dont les gouvernements ont besoin pour assurer aux enfants autochtones l’accès à un logement sécuritaire, sain et résilient face aux changements climatiques. Il propose une feuille de route inestimable pour faire progresser l’équité en santé et la justice en matière de logement, tout en honorant les engagements envers la réconciliation et en intégrant le savoir et le leadership autochtones.

Education & housing Not having access to a quiet space for homework and studying affects a child’s school performance. Poor performance in school impacts a child’s opportunity for higher education and employment. Children growing up in crowded houses may not get the sleep they need, leading to difficulty concentrating in school, fatigue and behavioural issues. Behavioural issues can result in negative interactions with teachers and peers, which may, later in life, impact personal and professional relationships.
