Seven Ways to Make a Difference:

  1. Be a Witness – to the federal government appearing before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to answer charges that it is discriminating against First Nations children today by providing them less child welfare supports than other children receive. A year after the apology for residential schools, this is your chance to follow this historic tribunal and decide for yourself whether or not you feel that the federal government is treating First Nations children fairly.

  2. Register your individual or organizational support for Jordan's Principle which is a child first principle to resolving inter governmental jurisdictional disputes.

  3. Join Amnesty International Canada in putting an end to inequitable child welfare funding for First Nations children.

  4. Help the children of Attawapiskat First Nation get a safe school. Watch this 2 minute video and then click here to learn how you can take action.

  5. Help reshape the child welfare system so that it better supports Aboriginal children, youth and families by endorsing the Reconciliation in Child Welfare: Touchstones of hope for Indigenous children and youth.

  6. Learn how to respectfully engage young people in your organization's work by registering your support for the Declaration of Accountability on the Ethical Engagement of Young People and Adults in Canadian Organizations.

  7. Join us in supporting the Many Hands One Dream principles to guide improvements to Aboriginal health care resulting in healthier Aboriginal children and young people.
