In 2001, the Province of BC committed to establishing five service delivery regions for child and family services, each governed by a Regional Authority. In response, the Aboriginal community demanded the creation of five separate Regional Aboriginal Authorities (RAAs). This report documents the (as yet unfinished) process of establishing the RAAs, raises questions and concerns, and makes recommendations for change.
CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
