Cheam Indian Band – July 5th
Chief Sydney Douglas
The funding of First Nations driven child welfare needs to be reviewed,
The Ministry for Children and Family currently pays its employee more then we receive from the government to perform similar duties. Funding must be fair and equal.
Currently in Sto:lo Nation’s there is no funding until there is an apprehension. So the system doesn’t work to support the family before the child is taken away.
We feel that there should be a program developed that funds the support and education of families before apprehension becomes necessary.
Education with in the schools that is aimed to prevent teen pregnancy.
