OBA Aboriginal Law, Child and Youth Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: November 28, 2019
The passage of Bill C – 92, An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis Children, Youth and Families’, marks a critical turn in Indigenous child welfare. Coming into force on January 1, 2020, this new legislation prioritizes Indigenous law, confers jurisdiction over child and family services to Indigenous Peoples, and outlines guiding principles for delivering child and family services. Are you ready for its important reforms? Attend this program to better understand the new law, what it means for your practice, and its impact on the representation of Indigenous youth.
Register now for this timely event to stay ahead of the curve with these upcoming changes to the law.
