First Nations leaders and Saskatchewan’s Advocate for Children and Youth...

First Nations leaders and Saskatchewan’s Advocate for Children and Youth are seeking an effective way to decrease the number of Aboriginal children in foster care, reports CBC. The parties signed a letter of understanding that will lead to a better way to serve First Nations children and their families, by striving to keep families together and allow grandparents to have more contact with foster children. The main goal of the letter of understanding is to keep Aboriginal children out of the child welfare system, but details have yet to be revealed that outline what changes that will require.
