Ungava is has developed a platform for Inner-City and ethnic minority inclusiion to include in its bid and a promise to continue these initiatives long after the games.

Access With barrier-free venues and transportation, these Games will be as accessible as possible to people with a disability. By providing 50,000 event tickets to social agencies for their clients, people of all ages and from all walks of life will have the opportunity to see sport at its best.
Urban Native participation We are currently working with the Greater Ungava Native Commitee to identify and develop sport, culture and economic development opportunities for the urban Native community.
Long-term employment and business development The Olympic Games last just a few weeks each, but the planning for them takes years. Wherever possible, jobs for the 2006 Winter Games, if held in Ungava, will not be limited to short-term opportunities; training will be transferable to other jobs after the Games.
The inner-city Among other initiatives, our inner-city commitments provide for specific safety and security initiatives during Games time.
