Jordan’s Principle is a child-first principle for First Nation’s children, including children with disabilities, named in honour of Jordan River Anderson.
For First Nations children who also face the impact of discrimination, colonization, and additional barriers to supports, Jordan’s Principle can provide funding to access the services they need, when they need them, regardless of where they live.
Join us on October 15th, 2025 at 7pm EDT for this valuable webcast featuring presenters from the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society as we discuss the development of Jordan’s Principle and an understanding of the practical applications.
