Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) is a federal government department focused on transforming how the government delivers services to Indigenous peoples. It seeks to transfer the design, planning, management, and delivery of these services to Indigenous control, aiming for greater consistency, quality, and accountability, while adopting a distinctions-based approach and creating partnership models. The department centers its efforts on five priority areas: improving health outcomes, delivering quality education, keeping children and families together, ensuring reliable infrastructure, and establishing a new fiscal relationship. ISC is based in Gatineau, Quebec, and operates within the Government of Canada. The target customers for ISC are Indigenous communities and peoples in Canada, with a mandate to address systemic gaps in service delivery and to align government functions with Indigenous needs and governance. The organization is part of the government administration sector and employs a sizable workforce, reflecting its role as a major federal service provider.
