Our Vision
The Metis family and community is the cornerstone of our nation and is built upon love, respect, honour, strength and heritage.
Our Mission
Metis families and communities have the right and responsibility to care for children. Metis Child, Family and Community Services will work to strengthen the capacity of families to care for children through culturally relevant community-based programs. We believe in the inherent strength of our families and in the need to build on the capacity of our community to care for and nurture Metis children.
Our Guiding Principles
- Métis families and communities are the cornerstone of the Métis Nation and the service delivery system must reflect this vision.
- Responsibility for decision-making regarding Métis children and families lies with the family, extended family and community whenever possible.
- The organizational structure promotes and supports community governance at all levels.
- The service delivery system will encompass both formal and informal elements.
- The service delivery system must be operated in an efficient and effective manner.
- The service delivery system will be outcome based and will reflect the core guiding principles of MCFCS.
