Biinoojinsag Committee

Ongoing Supports for Indigenous Children & Families.

What We Do.

Biinoojinsag is an ongoing Knowledge to Action priority. This committee involves regional front line workers who work with and support parents with children 0 – 6 years old within Simcoe County.

This committee of dedicated workers meets monthly to connect services, share upcoming opportunities and ensure that referral pathways are strong. During these meetings, awareness is brought to the current programs and services available to help meet the needs of our local Indigenous children.

Our Priorities.

The BANAC staff and board members oversee and provide guidance with respect to the development of a coordinated regional response to meet the needs of Indigenous children, youth and their families.

To remain impartial to serve the best interests of children/youth and families in the First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities in Simcoe County and Muskoka.
To support the development of culturally appropriate services for Indigenous children, youth and families.
To share and promote the exchange of information between participating First Nations, Métis and Inuit organizations and mainstream organizations.
To promote unity amongst First Nations, Métis and Inuit agencies engaged in children and youth services, strengthening referral pathways.
To support networking and training opportunities for the front-line and regional staff.
To collaborate with mainstream organizations on joint projects where appropriate.
