The health and well-being of Indigenous children is a top priority for the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia and the BC Assembly of First Nations, First Nations Summit and Union of BC Indian Chiefs (collectively working together as the First Nations Leadership Council). Together we are taking action to help ensure that children receive the health and social services they need, when they need it.
The Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia and the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC) have signed a Reconciliation Charter (the Charter) to formalize their commitment to work together to reduce the number of First Nations children in care, to keep families together and support First Nations youth to successfully transition out of care.
