A reminder about Jordan's Principle

Postby admin » Mon Dec 12, 2016 4:32 pm

A reminder on Facebook by Cindy Blackstock,
our champion of Indigenous children's rights in Canada . . .
December 12, 2016

Nine years ago today, the Anderson family and families from Norway House Cree Nation and Montana First Nation joined together in the House of Commons to watch the unanimous motion supporting Jordan's Principle pass.

The federal government still has not fully implemented it but we are not giving up. Here is what Jordan's Principle is:

1) Ensures ALL First Nations children have equal access to ALL government services on the same terms as other kids;

2) Government of first contact pays and then can seek reimbursement from other government entities later;

3) Means that First Nations kids should not experience a service denial, delay or disruption of any kind because they are First Nations.

If you know of a child who is being denied a service available to other children because of their First Nations status then contact info@fncaringsociety.com
