Published purpose

This project aims to strengthen the cybersecurity resilience of First Nations communities across Canada by equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and capacity to identify risks, protect critical information, and respond effectively to cyber threats. Led by GovernWise Alliance, the initiative will deliver tailored assessments, awareness programs, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven training, and governance frameworks aligned with national and international standards. With a Canada-wide scope, including Ontario, Winnipeg, and other provinces, the project will engage over 70 First Nations already connected through GovernWise while extending services to new communities. Activities such as national workshops, monthly awareness campaigns, and digital toolkits will address immediate needs while building sustainable long-term capacity through mentorship, collaboration, and workforce development. GovernWise Alliance will oversee project management, partnerships, and evaluation to ensure alignment with Canadian cyber strategies and lasting impact.
