PURPOSE & BACKGROUND:

Chiefs of Ontario (COO) supports all First Nations in Ontario as they assert their sovereignty, jurisdiction, and their chosen expression of nationhood. The main objective of the Chiefs of Ontario office is to facilitate the discussion, planning, implementation and evaluation of all local, regional and national matters affecting the First Nations people of Ontario. Guided by the Chiefs in Assembly, COO upholds the self-determination efforts of the Anishinaabek, Mushkegowuk, Onkwehonwe, and Lenape Peoples in protecting and exercising their inherent and Treaty rights.

The COO Education Sector is seeking the services of a consultant to conduct an evaluation of the Ontario Technical Table on the Interim Funding Approach (OTTIFA). The Interim Funding Approach has been in place since April 1, 2019 and provides funding for K-12 education to all First Nations in Ontario that are not under a self-government agreement or have federally operated schools. The OTTIFA was established in late 2018 and is mandated by the Chiefs-in-Assembly to examine and refine the Interim Funding Approach to better meet the needs of First Nation learners, schools and supporting entities.
