CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES
Child & Family Services support the safety and well-being of First Nations children ordinarily residing on-reserve.
This ATC program supports the delivery of culturally appropriate prevention and protection services for First Nations children and families, in accordance with the legislation and standards of Alberta.
All children are protected by provincial or territorial child welfare legislation as child and family services are matters of provincial or territorial jurisdiction. The CFS department works together with families and communities to develop nurturing, safe, environments for children, youth, and individuals where family strengths are recognized.
