About CFNCS

The Caring for First Nations Society (formerly known as the Western Canadian Aboriginal Family and Child Care Worker’s Society) was formed on an informal basis, in the spring of 1982, to act as a professional association and professional development body for persons employed or active in the field of First Nations and Aboriginal child and family services. Incorporated in 1994, the Society works in cooperation with First Nations and Aboriginal child and family service programs to protect and foster the well being of First Nations and Aboriginal people by reaffirming traditions, and through effective child and family service delivery that empower the voices of First Nations and Aboriginal peoples.
