First Nation Bans Children's Aid Workers

First Nation Bans Children's Aid Workers

Ontario Children’s Aid Workers are being prohibited from entering a First Nation Community. Constance Lake First Nation Chief and Council have passed a resolution banning all members of the Ministry of Children and Youth Services from their territory. Chief Arthur Moore says; “If for any reason a representative enters onto Constance Lake Territory, they will be treated as trespassers, and if any children are removed from the community it will be considered a kidnapping.”

    The poor families of that community that might be benefiting from the services child and family have to offer? I sure hope some service is available to the families in that community in the meantime and this is resolved soon.I would hate to see something terrible happen to a child or a family in the meantime...The Chief must be putting something in place in his community to ensure the families are supported?? is he??
