News Tidbits – CAS will lose their Blind River office by the end of the year. Nog-Da-Win-Da- Min Family and Community Services received accreditation as a child welfare protection service agency two years ago. Indigenous clients within the seven First Nations communities of the North Shore Tribal Council are now receiving services from Nog-Da-Win-Da- Min Family and Community Services.

Additionally, a 10 per cent holdback also occurred this year.
