Are you an Indigenous viewer and/or listener, an Indigenous broadcaster, or an Indigenous content creator? We need to hear from you! If you are not Indigenous, but you watch, listen to, or broadcast Indigenous content, we’d like to hear from you too.

We are developing the Indigenous broadcasting policy and plan to follow a co-developed approach. Your participation is therefore essential.

The broadcasting system in Canada is an important tool for the revitalization of Indigenous languages and cultures. We recognize the unique nature and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The goal of the Indigenous broadcasting policy is to effectively support the creation, presentation and discoverability of Indigenous content throughout the broadcasting system.

Since we are looking to co-develop the policy with Indigenous peoples, we need to hear your views and recommendations. This policy is important as it aims to ensure that both online and traditional (radio and television) broadcasting services in Canada support your needs. We are inviting you to fill out a survey. The questions for this survey, and associated Notice of Consultation, have been developed following engagement sessions with Indigenous content creators and broadcasters. This was a valuable and effective collaboration. You can find a summary of these sessions in the What you said report.

This survey is aimed at the audience (viewers and/or listeners), broadcasters (radio, television and online services) and content creators. You do not have to answer all questions. Please respond to those that are relevant or of interest to you. We will gather your answers and will add them to the public record for this process. You can also submit videos or audio clips by clicking on the “stories” tool.

A summary of this consultation is also available in English | Plains Cree (paskwâwinîmowin) | South Baffin Inuktitut (Qikiqtaaluk nigiani) | Ojibway (Anishinaabemowin) | Denesuline (Dëne Sųłıné) | Montagnais (Innu-Aimun) | Mikmaq (Mi'kmawi'simk) |Michif.

Please note that this platform does not contain all the questions of this proceeding. For the full list of questions, or to become a party to the proceeding[1], please refer to our Notice of Consultation. To learn more about how we are co-developing the Indigenous Broadcasting Policy with Indigenous peoples, visit our webpage.
