“Jordan’s Principle has a direct impact by improving the quality of life for First Nations and Inuit children and their families. The family stories witnessed in this report demonstrate this importance. Their precious stories are a gift, stories that give us renewed insight into how we may better improve our processes and— when the stories are positive—the encouragement to continue our efforts.”

The First Nations Health Consortium (FNHC) is pleased to present its 2021-2023 annual report. Our report speaks to our work, our commitment: that every First Nations child deserves the same level of services and supports as those provided to non-First Nations children.

“Bridging the Gaps is the theme of our Annual Report this year. Bridging the Gaps is more than a statement… it is also a question. Are we just bridging the gaps or.. more importantly… are we closing them? As this report will illustrate, the Gaps continue to grow… not shrink. We continue to live in unprecedented times with high inflation, climbing interest rates, and increased taxed, fees, levies and surcharges. When these are combined with limited access to affordable goods and services, we have to say to ourselves: “What we need to do is not only Bridge the Gaps but survive the struggles that our children, their families and their communities are experiencing today.””

We are pleased to present our 2020-2021 annual report. This report speaks to our work, our commitment: that every First Nations child deserves the same level of services and supports as those provided to non-First Nations children. We are committed to making that happen, and making it matter so every child’s potential can be realized.
