Brighter Futures program

Community Well-Being and Jurisdiction

This new funding stream from Budget 2018 supports First Nations communities to lead the development and delivery of prevention services and to assert greater control over the well-being of their children and families. All investments through the Community Well-being and Jurisdiction Initiative will continue to support First Nation community-led, culturally-appropriate services as a core element of funded initiatives.
