About

Jordan’s Principle ensures First Nations Children in Canada Receive the health, education, and social services they need without delay, regardless of government funding disputes. Jordan’s Principle is named after Jordan River Anderson, a boy from Norway House Cree Nation who died in 2005 after spending his life in a hospital due to government disagreements over his care. The principle ensures immediate access to services, with funding disputes resolved later, addressing long standing inequalities faced by First Nations children.

Mission Statement:
Jordan’s Principle makes sure all First Nations Children living in Canada can access the products, services, and supports they need, when they need them.

Vision:
A future where all First Nations children have equal access to the support they need to thrive, free from barriers and delays.
