Claims Period for Removed Child Class and Removed Child Family Class expected to open later this year.
On June 20, the Federal Court approved the first Claims Process for the First Nations Child and Family Services and Jordan’s Principle Settlement, marking a significant milestone toward providing compensation to individuals included in the historic $23.34 billion Settlement Agreement.
The first Claims Process will focus on two Classes—the Removed Child Class and Removed Child Family Class. These Classes include First Nations individuals who were removed from their homes as Children, on reserve or in the Yukon, and placed into care funded by Indigenous Services Canada, between April 1, 1991, and March 31, 2022, as well as their Caregiving Parents or Caregiving Grandparents.
