First Nations communities were provided with the legislation required to take control of Child Welfare in Canada in 2019. This significant development, which some began working on in Ontario under the Ontario Indigenous Child and Youth Strategy as early as 2016, has profoundly impacted the lives of First Nations children. Child welfare agencies in Ontario, supported by the Association of Native Child and Family Services Associations of Ontario (ANCFSAO), are at the forefront of this change.
Our featured speaker this Sunday, Tammy Hill, Manager of Training and Development of ANCFSAO, will provide an overview of ANCFSAO and discuss some of the challenges facing the agencies her organization supports. This critical conversation follows recent challenges by Quebec in the Superior and Appellate Courts and, more recently, the Supreme Court of Canada, which sided with the Federal Government of Canada, not Quebec.
