The Lakehead Social Planning Council has released an infographic summarizing some of the information gathered. At least 557 people were experiencing homelessness and were surveyed during the 24-hour period. More than 3 out of 4 people – 78% - identified as Indigenous.

Indigenous Legal Needs Assessment - FINAL REPORT - This Indigenous Legal Needs Assessment (ILNA) project began in 2019 and continued through the beginning of the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020. The report identifies some of the legal needs of Indigenous people living in the catchment areas of 11 Northern Ontario community legal clinics and will be helpful in the future planning for services provided by these legal clinics.
