In 2001, the Province of BC committed to establishing five service delivery regions for child and family services, each governed by a Regional Authority. In response, the Aboriginal community demanded the creation of five separate Regional Aboriginal Authorities (RAAs). This report documents the (as yet unfinished) process of establishing the RAAs, raises questions and concerns, and makes recommendations for change.
The CCPA is Canada’s leading organization for articulating progressive, positive social policy reform. Ever constructive and independent, the CCPA’s respected voice has helped produce substantial results in the movement for true democracy and equality of opportunity that all Canadians can support.
