Interior Metis Child & Family Services

The Roots Program was re-established in March 2005.

The Roots Program is an initiative by the Ministry of Children and Family Development which strives to meet the needs of our Métis children in the Ministry’s care.

It is the responsibility of the Roots Coordinators to work in collaboration with the Ministry and other community partners to;

•  Identify Métis children and youth for whom a return to family and community may be appropriate
•  Assist in developing and implementing appropriate reunification plans for Métis children and youth
•  Implement strategies to strengthen children and youth’s connections to their community, culture and heritage
•  Find and work toward the best possible placement plan for our Métis children and youth

The objective of Interior Métis Child & Family Services is to ensure that our Métis children and youth are recognized and respected for their own unique cultural heritage. We are here for our children and youth when they question their identity and their place in society.
