Launch of Honouring our Children, Families and Nation Act

On January 1, 2020, new federal legislation (referred to as Bill C-92) came into force, recognizing the inherent right of First Nations to develop their own specific child and family services legislation.

In the last year, Peguis Child and Family Services, in conjunction with Peguis First Nation, has been developing draft legislation that will be reviewed by Members.

This draft legislation, called the Honouring our Children, Families and Nation Act (the “Act”) has recently been completed and Peguis Chief and Council along with Peguis CFS representatives are now ready to share the draft Act with the community and public.
