Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative  (AWPI)

AWPI Mission Statement:

"To facilitate the process of equitable participation of Aboriginal peoples in the Canadian workforce through enhancing awareness, capacity and partnerships between Aboriginal peoples and all sectors of the economy. This process is built upon a foundation of mutual respect, innovation and the pursuit of excellence."

Our Logo:

AWPI seeks to promote the participation of all Aboriginal peoples in the labour market: First Nations, Métis and Inuit.

	The eagle feather is a common symbol in many First Nations cultures.
	The Métis are represented by an illustration of their people's sash.
	The Inukshuk, a traditional northern landmark, stands for the Inuit.
	The four colours of the medicine wheel, representing the four directions (North, South, East and West), illustrate the national scope of AWPI.
