LAC LA RONGE INDIAN BAND CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES

Released on December 20, 2010

Beginning January 1, Lac La Ronge Indian Band Child and Family Services, Inc., through an agreement with the Ministry of Social Services, will provide after-hour and weekend emergency child protection services to off-reserve residents in the communities of La Ronge, Stanley Mission, Stony Rapids, Wollaston, Black Lake, Southend, Uranium City and Pinehouse.

"This agreement will simplify access to emergency child protection services in several northern communities," Social Services Minister June Draude said. "The agreement is an important step forward in our common goal of providing the best possible emergency protection services to the children and families of the North."

"This new arrangement will provide children and families in need of emergency child protection services in these communities with a single entry point, regardless of whether they live on or off reserve," Lac La Ronge Indian Band Child and Family Services, Inc. Director Dexter Kinequon said. "Effective January 1, a child protection worker who can respond to all after-hour and weekend emergencies can be reached by calling Lac La Ronge Indian Band Child and Family Services at 306-425-5511."

Lac La Ronge Indian Band Child and Family Services has the same authority as the Ministry of Social Services under The Child and Family Services Act. The agency was incorporated in 1994, and in June 2010 was accredited by CARF Canada for a three-year term after demonstrating a high degree of excellence in their work in five child and family services categories. In addition to a central office, the Agency currently has five sub-offices and 37 full-time permanent staff.
