Economic Development- APC continued its advocacy of the Chiefs’ key strategies for building an Atlantic aboriginal economy. The document detailed key priorities of the Chiefs which were supported by APC staff in various venues and discussions with governments. APC staff built strong links with Ulnooweg Development Group staff, EDO’s (Economic Development Administrators) and various provincial forums to support all strategic elements and priorities. APC continued to operate the (RPRC) Regional Project Review Committee for DIAND and conducted work to ensure project assessments were done and recommendations were made in a timely manner. As a pathfinder for First Nations clientele, the committee provides ongoing support to promote dialogue with DIAND and other key federal and provincial players directly involved in economic development and help set viable projects funded. APC began the first of three years of training for the EDO’s to earn certification supported by funding provided by DIAND and ACOA. A number of training sessions were held based on the key priorities and assessments of the EDO’s and their efforts to move toward full certification. A yearly session for EDO’s was held to communicate information and issues or concerns they had about programs or services provided by government programs and other partners. APC and Ulnooweg Development Group entered into a partnership to manage a small business grant program called the Quick Start Program which provides up to $5,000 to a number of entrepreneurs across the region for small business startups or expansions.
