The leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party was up in the north recently to learn more about how certain services are delivered in Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation.

Dougald Lamont says one of the ways NCN has innovated the services they provide is that the community has combined healthcare and child-family services as a single department.

NCN has outreach programs that reduce the number of children in care and to reduce the number of children with fetal alcohol syndrome.

While in NCN, he also discussed issues the community is concerned about when it comes to Indigenous communities running their own CFS programs.
