Information session of Indigenous customary adoption and tutorship

Customary adoption or customary tutorship is a family- and community-based practice that allows for supporting and protecting children, their parents and the rest of their families without court intervention. Customary adoption and tutorship have always been part of the rights and jurisdiction of First Nations self-government. They are an integral part of the lives and cultures of families and communities. 

This information session explains the different concepts of customary adoption and tutorship and competent authority. It will also allow participants to better understand the role and tasks of the competent authority. This session lasts approximately 3 hours.

Please note that this training is available on request. To register or for more information, contact us at info@cssspnql.com.
