Presentation on Bill C-92
2026-02-11 12:00 - 14:00 | Head of the Lake Hall, 118 Head of the Lake Road
Presentation on Bill C-92
OKIB Child & Family Services invites community members to a special public presentation on Bill C-92: Enabling Legislation for First Nations Implementation.
The presentation will be delivered by Dr. Cindy Blackstock PhD.
This one-hour session will explore the practical implications of Bill C-92 and pathways to First Nations jurisdiction in child and family services.
Cindy is Gitxsan and is honoured to serve as the Executive Director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society and as a professor at McGill University’s School of Social Work. She has over 40 years of experience working in child and family services and Indigenous children’s rights. A recipient of the 2023 World Children’s Prize voted on by millions of children around the world, Cindy is honoured to work with First Nations colleagues on a successful human rights challenge to Canada’s inequitable provision of child and family services and failure to implement Jordan’s Principle. This hard-fought litigation has resulted in hundreds of thousands of services being provided to First Nations children, youth, and families.
📅 Wednesday, February 11, 2026
📍 Head of the Lake Hall, Vernon
🥗 Light lunch served at 12:00 p.m.
🕐 Presentation begins at 1:00 p.m. (followed by Q&A)
A voluntary donation to the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society may be welcomed in recognition of Cindy’s time, with donations supporting ongoing advocacy and community work.
