Ontario First Nations Waiting on Billions in Delayed Child Welfare Funding
The funds pledged to transform First Nations child welfare in Ontario have been held up, leaving communities waiting for critical funding to run their own child welfare programs and raise their children closer to home and culture.
According to Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict, Ontario's new agreement will better support Indigenous families' child welfare needs.
"The Chiefs in our region have been clear: our children cannot wait,"
said Abram Benedict, Ontario regional chief for the Chiefs of Ontario, in a press release.
A multi-billion dollar child welfare agreement could be a lifeline for First Nations communities in Ontario, allowing them to run their own child welfare programs and raise their children closer to home and culture.
