The picture depicts the start of where we are today as a Nation protecting our children and youth in care. In March 2013 we (MNBC, Metis Commission and the 5 Program and Service Delivery Agencies) came to convene and start building on a broken relationship. Cole McGillvary was my Director at the time. In 2018 as Minister along with Jason Simmonds as my Director we approached NDP Minister Katrine Conroy to begin the negotiation to start the jurisdictional transition of our children and youth in care to MNBC and our chartered communities. In 2020 Director Judy Smith and I continue to evolve the transition process by forming the Metis Nation Child and Family Society. Thank you to the hard work Cole, Jason and Judy have done to protect the rights of our children and youth in care
