Indigenous Services Canada

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC; ; ) is one of two departments in the Government of Canada with responsibility for policies relating to Indigenous peoples in Canada (the other being Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada). ISC's mandate is to work "collaboratively with partners to improve access to high quality services for First Nations, Inuit and Métis."

The department was created in 2019 following the dissolution of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. ISC is responsible to Parliament through the minister of Indigenous services (Patty Hajdu since 2021). While the minister is head of the department, and provides policy/political direction, the day-to-day operations of the department are managed by the deputy minister (currently Gina Wilson), who is a public servant. Its headquarters is in Terrasses de la Chaudière, in downtown Gatineau, Quebec. Provided by Wikipedia
