Who We Are

Our Vision

Metis and Inuit families and communities are nurtured through love, respect, honour, strength and heritage within their distinctive cultures.

Our Mission

Families and communities have the right and responsibility to care for children within the Metis and Inuit cultures. Michif Child and Family Services will work to strengthen the capacity of families to care for children through culturally relevant community-based programs. We believe in the inherent strength of our families and in the need to build on the capacity of our community to care for and nurture our children.
