Testimonials

“We learn a great deal from you, as well as the confidence needed to go out into our communities and do this type of work. “ D. Baker, social worker.

“CFNCS is a crucial resource for First Nations agencies in BC. Their training and policy programs are well respected nationally ensuring that BC First Nations are included in important national initiatives such as the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. “ C. Blackstock, Executive Director, First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada

“Many times I have expressed to aboriginal leaders that there will never be true aboriginal self government as long as aboriginal children live in fear or go to bed at night crying because of abuse or neglect. True self-government can only flourish if there are strong and healthy families and strong and healthy communities. Aboriginal social workers graduating from the CFNCS training realize this as well.” H. Braker, Queen's Council
