Welcome back! Today - it\u2019s just us, no guests! Fair warning, we are not legal scholars or historians and there is SO MUCH information when it comes to the child welfare system. We encourage everyone to keep their learning going beyond this podcast. We\u2019d love to hear what you learn!

Today we\u2019re taking a brief look at the timeline of Canada's child welfare timeline starting with residential schools in the 1830s all the way to\xa0 today\u2019s foster care system.

Kate also gets to use her justice degree and share about the Supreme Court\u2019s recent decision upholding Bill C92!

Note: Bill C92 is an Act respecting First Nations, Metis and Inuit children, youth and families - recognizing Indigenous People\u2019s jurisdiction over child and family services and became law in June 2019. Quebec challenged it claiming Canada overstepped its constitutional authority but (spoiler) in February 2024, the Supreme Court made the decision to uphold Bill C92, citing the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Rights. This is major!
