8. Some Opportunities

9. Some Opportunities
Fastest growing population in Canada; compared to a dwindling workforce (over 20% increase between 2001 and 2006)
In the next 10 years approximately 400,000 aboriginal people will enter the Canadian workforce
It is estimated there is approximately $315 billion in major resource development potential in or near aboriginal communities
Increased settlement of land claims will increase aboriginal land holdings, aboriginal control over resources, and increased funds available to aboriginal communities to participate in projects
Social License – access to resources; financing certainty
