Port Alberni: Child & Family Wellness Community Engagement

ƛiƛic̓ał (Steer the canoe in the right direction). We are moving forward with our own laws and self-determination. Join us for a vital update on the progress of Huu-ay-aht’s Child and Family Wellness journey as we navigate:

Pathways to Jurisdiction: Our steps toward full self-governance.
The Yaaʔak̕ap Act: Understanding Huu-ay-aht’s own Child and Family Wellness legislation.
Federal Legislative Review: A 5-year look at the Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families.

As we engage with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) on this national review, it is essential that our community is informed of the milestones we are reaching together.
