First Nations leaders praise agreement for child welfare reform in Ontario
First Nations leaders from across Ontario were in Toronto March 29 to celebrate a plan for the long-term reform of First Nations Child and Family Services in the province. The Ontario Final Agreement (OFA), negotiated between First Nations and the federal government, was finally approved by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) and confirms that the OFA fulfills the many orders of CHRT to end systemic racial discrimination in the child welfare program.
