Spirit Bear’s Plan for Reconciliation and Jordan’s Principle
Since confederation, public services for First Nations children and families have fallen significantly short of what other Canadians receive. This injustice needs to end and Spirit Bear’s Plan will do just that.
In the same vein, Jordan’s Principle is a legal precedent meant to ensure First Nations children and youth receive the public services they need when they need them. It was named for Jordan River Anderson, a child from Norway House Cree Nation who was born with complex medical needs. He and his family spent years in limbo while the provincial and federal governments argued about which branch should pay for his at-home care. Eventually, Jordan died in hospital at the age of five, never having spent a day in his family home. How can Canada do better for First Nations children and their families?
Learning from Norway
Norway has a universal system of early learning and child care—for all children and families. It is an expectation of Norway’s families that they will have a high-quality space that meets their individual needs. The path to get to this involved creating the government policy and systems that support children and families, and it took time and political will. How did Norway do it? What does it look like today? What have the challenges been? And what lessons can Canada learn?
