WEBINAR: Child & Family Services Long Term Reform Approach with Dr. Cindy Blackstock & Mary Teegee

Monday, April 8, 2024 from 1pm PDT / 4pm EDT

Since the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ordered Canada to end their discrimination against First Nations children and to ensure it never happens again, the National Advisory Committee on Long Term Reform for Indigenous child and family services has been hard at work.

Join Dr. Cindy Blackstock (First Nations Caring Society) and Mary Teegee (Carrier Sekani Child & Family Services and the Our Children Our Way Society) on Monday, April 8, 2024 from 1:00 – 2:30 PM PDT (4:00 – 5:30 PM EDT) to hear about how this work has been unfolding. Question and Answer period to follow the presentation. To submit questions in advance, email them to Ky Scott, Policy Analyst with the Our Children Our Way Society Secretariat.
