Providing Homes for Aboriginal Children: Recruitment of Aboriginal Caregivers Gathering & Feast

The Aboriginal Inter-agency Committee is presenting this event in an effort to find short-term and long-term Aboriginal caregivers for Aboriginal children who are temporarily unable to live with their parents.

Guest Speaker for the event, to be held on Tuesday, May 27 at 5:30 at the Sagitawa Friendship Centre (basement entrance), is Loretta English Parenteau. Ms. Parenteau has experience growing up away from her parents and is also able to share her positive experiences as an Aboriginal Caregiver.

As Town Council's representative on the Aboriginal Inter-agency Committee, I plan to attend after the Library Committee meeting, so maybe I'll see you there.
