Supporting Nisga'a Culture
What does this mean?
Once the NLG Designated Representative receives a notice of significant measures involving a Nisg‑ a’a child regarding noncourt related matters, such as investigations, safety plans, Special Needs Agreements, Youth Agreements, Extended Family Program, Family Service Resource and Voluntary Care Agreements, a member of the Court Resource Team may attend and participate in planning. When the Designated Representative received notice of court proceedings involving the custody or guardianship of a Nisg‑ a’a child, a member of the Court Resources Team can attend court and participate in the proceedings in order to ensure that the Nisg‑ a’a heritage of the child and the connection with Nisg‑ a’a family and community is protected.
