During a ceremony on Thursday (April 18), minister of children and family services Grace Lore signed a coordinating agreement with the Sts’ailes First Nation, further reinforcing the province’s support of the nation’s jurisdiction over their own child and family services laws.
“We are recognizing their inherent right to self-government, including exercising their laws, responsibilities and customs as it relates to looking after children, youth and providing family services,” Lore told The Observer.
