Foster Care

Foster Care

We consider it paramount that our foster parents are culturally sensitive to the needs of our children. The preservation of the Indigenous culture is as important as the recognition of each child’s specific family. It defines who they are, and provides the holistic identity needed to enhance the child’s well-being.

Foster Care

Our focus is on ensuring continuity of Indigenous children’s cultural and historical teachings.


As an Indigenous organization, we promote and encourage all employees to participate in cultural events and activities. Employees are expected to participate in Indigenous Awareness training, research historical and current information that will enhance their ability to work within the Indigenous Community. This knowledge as well as their formal education helps to bridge the gap between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives.


We have Elders on site as well as strong connection to Indigenous leaders who provide guidance and teachings.  There is also sweat lodges, Indigenous crafts, spiritual knowledge available.


If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, and would like the opportunity to care for Indigenous children and youth, please contact our Program Manager:
