If you or a loved one were admitted to a Federal Indian Hospital while it was operated by the Government of Canada, you may be eligible to receive money as part of a Canada-wide settlement. Contact us for more information or if you'd like assistance starting the process.

How does this Settlement differ from Jordan’s Principle services? 👉 The First Nations Child and Family Services and Jordan’s Principle Settlement provides compensation for past harm. 👉 Jordan’s Principle services support First Nations Children with access to essential health, education and social services today. They sound similar, but you contact different places for each one. 🔗 Get contact information and read the full explanation here: rebrand.ly/S192E
