How we work with civic department partners to develop opportunities for youth
Stream Two: activities involve building partnerships with civic departments to develop youth-focused initiatives that engage Indigenous youth in the civic system.

During the first five years of the strategy multiple outcomes have been achieved under the City of Winnipeg's Indigenous Youth Strategy, Oshki Annishinabe Nigaaniwak (OAN). From 2009 to the end of 2013 the following notable outcomes are a result of working in partnership with our civic department partners such as Winnipeg Transit, Corporate Support Services, Community Services, Corporate Finance, Animal Services Agency, Water & Waste, and Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service:
