Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Launches National Dialogue with Chiefs on Historic Agreement on Long-Term Reform of the First Nations Child and Family Services Program Tuesday 30 July 2024 11:07 PM UTC+00 | Tags: press-release (July 30, 2024 – Unceded Algonquin Territory, Ottawa, Ontario) – This week, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak is launching a national dialogue with Chiefs regarding the Draft Agreement on Long-Term Reform of the First Nations Child and Family Services (FNCFS) Program. The Draft Agreement, totaling to $48.7 billion in a funding commitment from the federal government, will empower First Nations sovereign rights-holders to administer or direct child welfare programming, as they determine for themselves. Mandated by Resolutions 40/2022 and 86/2023 To Ensure Quality of Life to the First Nations Child and Family Services Program and Jordan's Principle, the AFN was directed to negotiate this Draft Agreement, conduct regional engagements, and seek approval from First Nations-in-Assembly. "This First Nations-led agreement will ensure the rights of First Nation children and families are respected," said AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak. "With this historic funding, we can get serious about replacing Canada's broken system with a compassionate, families-first approach that promotes prevention before apprehension and empowers First Nation families to care for our own children." This week, National Chief Woodhouse Nepinak will begin a national dialogue with visits to several First Nation in Ontario and other First Nations across the country, continuing these visits throughout the month. The AFN initiated bi-weekly virtual information sessions open to Chiefs, technicians and interested observers on July 25, 2024, which will continue until September 5, 2024. Each session is designed to explore a specific topic related to the reform. Dates for in-person sessions will be announced as they are confirmed with each region. Additionally, the Draft Agreement and other relevant information are being mailed to each Chief this week. An email address (social.development@afn.ca) has also been set up to field inquiries from Chiefs. "With the unity of First Nations, we have reached another historic turning point. We lift up the Chiefs, Knowledge Keepers, representative plaintiffs, experts, and allies for leading us on this journey. You have been pillars of strength for the thousands of children and families who have experienced generations of discrimination." ―30― The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is a national advocacy organization that works to advance the collective aspirations of First Nations individuals and communities across Canada on matters of national or international nature and concern.

Moving forward, we at CDEV will continue to deepen our work to provide robust climate-related financial reporting aligned with the TCFD recommendations over time and want to thank all our employees, subsidiaries, and business partners for helping us deliver our mandate successfully in the most reasonable and sustainable way possible," says President and CEO, Elizabeth Wademan.
