The mandate of the Residential Resource Program is to provide safe alternate care for Indigenous children and promotes and respects their well-being and cultural identity. The Residential Resources Program has children’s best interests at the centre of our work. Our focus and teamwork with other programs have resulted in children remaining at home with their parents and families, and children returning home with an extension of their families to include their foster caregivers.
Implementing Restorative Indigenous Child Welfare Practice and Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action (TRC) recommendations remain a cornerstone of VACFSS’ practice and continues to guide and strengthen our approach to meeting our children and families’ needs and aspirations.
