Any persons requesting Intake and Emergency Services that may be entitled to appear on the band membership list or the band list are to receive services by the Designated Intake and Emergency Service provider where they live or by agencies designated to provide joint intake and emergency services under section 21 of The Child and Family Services Authorities Act.

Any persons that may be entitled to appear on the band membership list or the band list that request any type of services must declare to the Agency and provide the family history to confirm their eligibility to receive services. Once the appropriate information is received, the Elders Council will review to confirm eligibility to receive services.

The Agency cannot accept any persons that may be entitled to appear on the band membership list or the band list if the matter is before the Courts and the Elders Council has not confirmed eligibility to receive services.

Pursuant to the Act in order to become “entitled to appear on the Band Membership List maintained by the First Nation or the Band List maintained by the Indian Registry Administrator for the First Nation and the Registrar of ISC” the person must submit an application for band membership or band registry. If the Agency receives a letter from the band membership clerk which confirms that the person’s name will be listed on the band membership list will be entitled to receive services from the Agency.
