Jordon's Principle is a child-first legal obligation that looks to ensure that First Nations children get the services and health care they need when they need it.
This Principle came to be in 2007 to honor Jordan River Anderson, a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba who was born in 1999 with multiple disabilities.
Due to conflicts of responsibility between the provincial and federal governments, Jordan passed before his family could ever receive the resources to care for him at home.
This boy passed away in hospital at the age of 5.
Next week on May 10th, Bear Witness Day will be hosted in Dauphin by West Region Treaty 2 & 4 Health Services to educate people on the Legacy of Jordan's Principle.
From 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, visit CN Park and learn about this last effort to further support healthcare and human rights for children.
