About the implementation of Jordan’s Principle in Manitoba:
This study aimed to describe the impact of Jordan’s Principle on health, education, and social services for all First Nations children in Manitoba, including those living within First Nations and those living outside of First Nations in urban and rural centres. This study has two parts: 1) An overview of the implementation of Jordan’s Principle across Manitoba, and 2) Case studies that give a more in-depth description of Jordan’s Principle in a few communities. The final report resulting from this study was presented to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) as evidence on the state of implementation of Jordan’s Principle in Manitoba. The research team continued to support AMC’s adovacacy and research after the completion of the final report.
