Standing Beside First Nations: Supporting the Journey to Jurisdiction

October 13, 2026

As First Nations continue their journey toward greater jurisdiction over child and family services, Northern Authority remains committed to standing alongside Nations as a trusted partner.

At the 2026 Northern Authority Annual General Meeting, our CEO, Ron, shares Northern Authority's commitment to supporting First Nations through the opportunities and challenges of this important transition. From capacity building, training, and policy development to funding navigation, operational readiness, and workforce support, we are committed to helping strengthen the systems that serve children and families.

This is about more than jurisdiction. It is about protecting children, strengthening families, preserving culture, and building a future shaped by First Nations, for First Nations.

Northern Authority is not here to lead on behalf of Nations. We are here to support their vision, respect their self-determination, and walk alongside them every step of the way.

Not above you. Not against you. Beside you.

Together, we can help build strong, sustainable, culturally grounded child and family services for generations to come.
