Some additional workload for Weechi-it-te-win Family Services.For the first time, the native-based agency can now
provide child welfare services to aboriginals living off reserve within the Kenora and Rainy River district.
Executive Director Laurie Rose says an agreement with Kenora-Rainy River District Child and Family Services allows that to happen.
Rose says they had been asking for the expanded mandate from the province for many years without much success.
The two agencies sign the agreement in a ceremony Friday.
