LaRonge to provide full child, family services to off-reserve members

An agreement signed between the provincial government and the Lac La Ronge Indian Child and Family Services Agency will come into full effect by Dec. 1, giving authority for child and family services for both on- and off-reserve residents to the La Ronge band. The agency took over child protection and foster care services to off-reserve residents in La Ronge, Air Ronge, Pinehouse, Brabant Lake, Southend and Stanley Mission in October. The band’s child and family services agency has been offering after-hours emergency services to off-reserve residents since December 2010.
