Delegation is a process by which Aboriginal communities reclaim authority to care for their children whom have been taken into permanent government care. Delegation is a transfer of Guardianship from the government to Aboriginal Agencies which meet the operational and practice standards for this purpose and whom have a mandate from their community.

We have prepared short surveys to help us gather your feedback on the Delegation process. Neither takes long to complete, and your input is greatly appreciated.

The surveys will help Metis Community Services define services which may be provided to Metis children in care and their families.

If you are a professional working with children youth and families, please complete the Professional survey.

If you are an interested community member, leader, culture carrier, parent or youth please complete the Community survey.

More details under the delegation menu item (above), including on-line surveys for your convenience.
