Official grand opening of the Nations of Treaty 8 Urban Child and Family Services Office in Edmonton. The Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta designed the concept of an urban office as an approach to provide prevention and early intervention services to children and families on reserve. The Urban Office will provide services to children who are currently in the care of the First Nation child and family service agencies and placed in urban centres.
The Nations of Treaty 8 Urban Child and Family Services Office provides cultural services to First Nations families living in urban centres. The long-term vision is for multiple Urban Offices to provide services to all First Nations children in care in Alberta.
