On Qalipu Today with Lenny Benoit, Brigette White, a Services Coordinator with Qalipu First Nations, spoke more about Jordan’s Principle -the result of the case of Jordan River Anderson from Cree Nation in Manitoba who spent his whole life in hospital with complex needs – and how it the principle can apply to local First Nations’ community members.
Other stories in this CKVB newscast include WorkplaceNL to offer free webinars on psychological health, midnight is the deadline to apply to be a Corner Brook Winter Carnival Ambassador, and the luckiest lottery numbers have been released.
