“Bridging the Gaps is the theme of our Annual Report this year. Bridging the Gaps is more than a statement… it is also a question. Are we just bridging the gaps or.. more importantly… are we closing them? As this report will illustrate, the Gaps continue to grow… not shrink. We continue to live in unprecedented times with high inflation, climbing interest rates, and increased taxed, fees, levies and surcharges. When these are combined with limited access to affordable goods and services, we have to say to ourselves: “What we need to do is not only Bridge the Gaps but survive the struggles that our children, their families and their communities are experiencing today.””

This final project report ‘Implementation of Jordan’s Principle across Canada’ is the outcome of conducting a project to gather data needed by Indigenous Service Canada (ISC) on the implementation of Jordan’s Principle across Canada.
