Today, October 22, marks the birthday of Jordan River Anderson, whose life and legacy inspired Jordan’s Principle.
The Chiefs of the North Shore Mi’kmaq Tribal Council are calling on the Government of Canada to urgently address the backlog of Jordan’s Principle requests and uphold its legal obligations to First Nations children.
