 MISSION STATEMENT

 To promote the health and well being of our Métis children and families by building on the capacity of our Métis community through the provision of culturally sensitive and appropriate programs and services.

 

PHILOSOPHY

 We believe children, with secure and caring guidance of family and culture, grow into healthy adults wanting to make a meaningful contribution to the families, communities and societies to which they belong. We are aware of the wreckage that occurs when these systems of support break down. It is our belief that the Métis children that come into care, or who appear to be “at risk” within the Child Welfare system are the responsibility of our Métis community. We believe the involvement of family and community is essential. The hope and convictions of Métis Local 1885 is that mutual goals can be realized through the combined cooperative efforts between the various levels of government and the Métis community.

 

MANDATE

 Métis Child and Family Services (MCFS) receives its mandate to deliver services to Métis children and families directly from the Métis community through its recognized political authority, the Métis Nation of Alberta Association. MCFS is governed by a Board of Directors; changes and decisions are made in consultation with the Métis community through forums and annual meetings.
