Spirit Bear Celebration

NIB Health & Wellness marked Spirit Bear’s birthday on May 10th. Spirit Bear is the symbolic representation of the outcome of Jordan River Anderson’s human rights case. Jordan was a five-year-old child with multiple complex medical needs, who spent his entire life in hospital because federal and provincial governments were disputing who should pay for his inhome care. Jordan would never live with his family in their home nor within his community.

The case of Jordan’s right to receive equitable access to public services without complicated jurisdictional battles was eventually reviewed by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in 2015. The Tribunal ultimately ruled that the federal government, and the provincial government where a child lives, must ensure equity in services and that no chid should be adversely affected by jurisdictional disputes. Jordan’s Principle applies to all Canadian First Nations children whether living on or off reserve and regardless of status. This national response ensures that all First Nations children receive impartial and culturally sensitive health care and/ or social services when and where they require them.

- Properties with odd numbered addresses may only water on Sunday and Thursday.

- Properties with even numbered addresses may only water on Saturday and Wednesday.

- Sprinkling or irrigating of lawns, gardens or fields is not permitted between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm.
