[Tikinagan Child and Family Services is] a community-based child welfare agency rooted in and accountable to the First Nations communities [it] serves. [It is composed of] a large team of residential care workers, child care workers, family service workers, community-based prevention workers, intake workers, and administrative staff.

OBS

Tikinagan is mandated by the chiefs of Nishnawbe-Aski Nation to provide services in a manner that is sensitive to the unique needs of the Native child and family, Native culture and traditions, and the concept of the extended family. Families often require help at many levels to address issues of mental health, family violence, marital support and addictions, and communities often do not have the necessary resources to meet all of the family's needs. In establishing Tikinagan as a Native child welfare agency, the chiefs were committed to providing services to children and families in whatever manner necessary to prevent them from becoming at risk. Tikinagan was formed, not only to provide child protection services, but also to provide family support and intervention services, to assist and seek out resources for families to overcome their difficulties and to broaden the social services network for the benefit of our children and families.

OBS

As a Children’s Aid Society, Tikinagan has been mandated since April 1987 under the Child and Family Services Act to provide services that will ensure children are protected from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, neglect, and other forms of maltreatment.

The ILO(International Labour Organization) was founded in 1919, in the wake of a destructive war, to pursue a vision based on the premise that universal, lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon decent treatment of working people. The ILO became the first specialized agency of the UN in 1946. The Organization is devoted to advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security, and human dignity. Its main aims are to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue in handling work-related issues.

OBS

"ILO is indeed called the International Labour (with "u") Organization (with "z") in English. ILO could also refer to the Secretariat which is the International Labour Office. The use of the current spelling, i.e., Organization, began in October 1992 at which time an internal circular was issued. It should be noted that "Organisation" remains the preferred spelling found in the titles of any instruments, e.g. conventions, recommendations, etc., adopted by the International Labour Conference before that date, including the Constitution which was established in 1919 and last amended in 1974. (The 1994 edition of the Constitution was incorrectly issued as "Constitution of the International Labour Organization". The error was corrected in the February 1998 edition)."

The purpose of this directive is to provide you with instructions regarding the replacement of the Social Insurance Number(SIN) by either the Personal Record Identifier(PRI) or the Individual Agency Number(IAN) in the administration of the Public Service benefit plans. In June 1988, the federal government announced that the use of the Social Insurance Number would be restricted to instances specified in legislation. Consequently, a new federal government employee number, the Personal Record Identifier(PRI), was introduced. As the PRI is an internal government identifier, it cannot be released to those outside of the federal government. For this reason, the SIN has to be replaced by the Individual Agency Number(IAN) as the identifier for federal government insurers and administrators.

La présente vient vous renseigner sur le remplacement du numéro assurance sociale (NAS), soit par le code d'identification de dossier personnel (CIDP) ou le numéro individuel de l'organisme (NIO), dans le cadre de l'administration des régimes d'avantages sociaux. En juin 1988, le gouvernement a annoncé que l'usage du numéro assurance sociale (NAS) se limiterait aux cas énoncés dans la législation. Il a donc fallu introduire un nouveau numéro d'employé du gouvernement fédéral, soit le code d'identification de dossier personnel (CIDP). Cependant étant donné que celui-ci est un code d'identification du gouvernement, on ne peut s'en servir à l'extérieur de l'administration fédérale. C'est pourquoi le NIO remplacera le NAS en tant que code d'identification des employés auprès des assureurs et des administrateurs du gouvernement.
