Who is eligible?
Jordan was born in 1999 with multiple disabilities and stayed in the hospital from birth. When he was 2 years old, doctors said he could move to a special home for his medical needs. However, the federal and provincial governments could not agree on who should pay for his home-based care. Jordan stayed in the hospital until he passed away at the age of 5.
In 2007, the House of Commons passed Jordan's Principle in memory of Jordan. It was a commitment that Inuit / First Nations children would get the products, services and supports they need, when they need them.
While programs and initiatives to support it may only exist for short periods of time, Jordan's Principle will always be there. Jordan's Principle will support Inuit / First Nations children for generations to come.
Some examples of what could be funded include:
Matthew Usenko, Manager
Inuit Child First Initiative
Jenelle Sammurtok
Inuit Child First Navigator
Sarah Qavvik
Inuit Child First Navigator
