Income Assistance Program

The objectives of the social development program are:

- To assist persons living on reserves in maintaining a basic standard of living.

- To prevent dependency by developing individual and family strengths.

- To assist recipients to access services that will enhance their ability to assume primary

responsibility for their own affairs.

* Social Assistance is NOT an income. It is a last resort option meant to temporarily assist people in need.
