An exploration of First Nations reserves and access to cash / by Heng Chen, Walter Engert, Kim P. Huynh and Daneal O’Habib.: FB3-6/2021-8E-PDF

"Providing bank notes is one of the Bank of Canada’s core functions. The Bank is therefore interested in whether cash is adequately distributed across society, and this also influences the Bank’s thinking on issuing a central bank digital currency. We provide a perspective on these issues by exploring access of First Nations reserves to cash. To do so, we measure the distance between the 637 reserve band offices in Canada and their closest cash sources"--Abstract.
