Welcome to Jordan's Principle in Beausoleil
Jordan’s Principle is a principle about ensuring substantive equality and overcoming gaps in publicly funded health, social and
education programs. Its about finding services and supports that will make a difference and it applies to all First Nations children
whether they live on or off-reserve. My name is Rebecca Monague, and I am Beausoleil First Nation’s Jordan’s Principle Navigator.
The Navigators’ role is to help identify barriers and bridge any gaps when it comes to accessing services, supports, and acquiring
products that meet the needs of our younger generations. I work with individuals and/or families who have Education, Health and Social
related requests, and want to prepare applications to submit to Indigenous Services Canada for consideration under Jordan’s Principle.
Areas covered include:
- Mental Health
- Cultural products, supports and services
- Special Education
- Recreational therapy
- Medical equipment
and more…
Every situation is different, and all requests are evaluated by Indigenous Services Canada on a case-by-case basis. Individual or
family/group requests, I will do my best to explain the application process, compile supporting information, submit applications,
connect families with appropriate service providers to ensure equal access and equal opportunity.
