About | IFISC

Who is KFT-Families Society?

KFT-Families Society was founded to address a single gap: Indigenous families navigating child welfare have not had a standard built by their own communities, applied by their own leaders, and accountable to their own people. The Society exists to build that standard, run it, and hold it open.

The Society operates from unceded Coast Salish territories. Registered office at 201 Morrissey Rd, Port Moody, British Columbia.

How is the work organized?

The board operates as three working teams. Each director sits on one or more team. The structure is designed to keep decisions accountable, focused, and shared.

Team 01

The Standard
