Bear Witness Day calls on us to confront these failures, honour Canada’s commitments to reconciliation, and invest in building up children, families, and communities rather than abandoning them to harmful systems of institutionalization. 3/3

🐻 Get involved! Ahead of the next #BearWitnessDay, take action by writing to your Member of Parliament to insist that the Government of Canada fully implement #JordansPrinciple and end the discrimination against First Nations Children once and for all.

🐻 Thank you to Jordan and his family for the gift of #JordansPrinciple. & Thank you to the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada for their unwavering advocacy and leadership.

@caringsociety.bsky.social

Honouring #JordansPrinciple is not an act of generosity. It is a legal obligation. And it is long overdue.

🐻 By formally recognizing #BearWitnessDay, the Senate reaffirms our shared responsibility to uphold the rights of First Nations children and to hold the Government of Canada accountable for fully delivering on the promise of #JordansPrinciple.

🐻 Today, too many First Nations children and families still experience denial, delay, or disruption of essential care, putting their health, safety, and wellbeing at risk. At the heart of #JordansPrinciple, there are children with real needs, real hopes, and real futures who cannot wait.

🐻 Yet despite being legally required to act immediately, the federal government has repeatedly failed to fully implement #JordansPrinciple. After two decades of legal battles, Canada’s choice to continue litigating against First Nations children is evidence of continued failure.

🐻 #BearWitnessDay honours #JordanRiverAnderson and his family, and calls for the full implementation of #JordansPrinciple — a legal obligation, named in Jordan’s memory, that exists to ensure First Nations children in Canada can access the services they need, when and where they need them.

Jordan’s Principle isn’t a ‘program’—it’s a legal duty If the federal government publishes tight service standards, merges duplicative forms, pays on time, and reports honestly, families and front-line clinicians will feel the difference within weeks.

Liberals say they support reconciliation.

But when Indigenous kids ask for air, they lawyer up.
This is policy, not history.

Jordan’s Principle is a child-first legal rule ensuring Indigenous kids get public services without delay, regardless of jurisdiction.

It was upheld by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in 2016 after gov’t discrimination was proven.
