This is an open Expression of Interest (EOI) from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) seeking Elders and Elder Helpers to provide Indigenous cultural support to offenders in CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. The listed tender location is Ottawa, Ontario, but the services appear intended for correctional institutions in the Prairies; confirm the actual service locations in the official notice.
Services may include traditional teachings, counselling, healing support, ceremonies, spiritual services, cultural guidance, participation in case conferences, advice to CSC staff, and support for escorted temporary absences. Elder Helpers may assist Elders with ceremonies, supplies, scheduling, offender supervision, teachings, reporting, and counselling when directed.
An interested Elder or Elder Helper must appear to be recognized by their Indigenous community, other Elders, and teachers as having relevant knowledge of traditional culture, ceremonies, protocols, teachings, and healing practices. The work would take place in a controlled federal correctional environment and may involve security procedures, institutional movement restrictions, reporting, and working with CSC staff and case-management teams.
This notice is an EOI rather than a confirmed contract award or conventional bid opportunity. It appears relevant primarily to recognized Indigenous Elders, Elder Helpers, Indigenous communities, and Indigenous organizations able to provide these services. The closing date shown is January 13, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.; confirm the time zone and submission process.
Review the complete Elder and Elder Helper statements of work and contact the CSC representative identified in the official tender materials before expressing interest. Verify all requirements, service locations, security obligations, contracting terms, compensation, and submission instructions directly in the official notice, as the information provided here is incomplete and no official source URL was supplied.
