WHAT IS JORDAN’S PRINCIPAL?
“Jordan’s Principle makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them. Funding can help with a wide range of health, social and educational needs, including the unique needs that First Nations Two-Spirit and LGBTQQIA children and youth and those with disabilities may have.”
“Jordan’s Principal is a “Child-First Principal” meant to prevent First Nation’s children from being denied essential public services.
