The Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) has laid off around 75 contract and permanent staff members due to a significant shortfall in federal funding. Last year, the organization received $48 million in grants, but this year's revenue dropped to $10 million, with funding for staff falling from $11 million to $3 million. NWAC is calling on the federal government to provide more stable core funding to ensure predictability in its advocacy efforts.
