“I am very happy to accept this award from the Lieutenant Governor of BC and BC Achievement, it is a wonderful recognition of our efforts in sharing our values and histories.” Stated Chief Corrina Leween, President of the Board of Carrier Sekani Family Services. “We see also see this award as an acknowledgement of the hard work and commitment from people who work at CSFS with diverse backgrounds and their contributions toward reconciling with past injustices.”
Now it its 5th year, the training program continues to be delivered, presently in digital form, and is now provided both internally and externally to organizations, business and agencies from across the Province as recognition of the training is increased
In 2020 CSFS celebrated 30 years of working hard to provide holistic wellness services for our member nations. Our organization was created to reassert First Nations control of justice, health, social and family services, all of which have suffered through the process of colonization. Our staff work together across various disciplines to provide the best possible holistic wellness services to First Nations people in Carrier and Sekani territory.
