The Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition (OAC) is an alliance of ten (10) Indigenous delivery organizations that provide front-line programs and services to Indigenous people living in the National Capital Region (NCR).

The OAC advocates at the community, municipal, provincial and federal levels to educate and raise awareness on Indigenous issues and the unique circumstances and interests of urban Indigenous people in Ottawa.
