First Nations people living off reserve in the Rainy River District will now access child welfare services through Weechi-it-te-win Family Services.
Weechi-it-te-win will formally signed an agreement with the Kenora and Rainy River District Child and Family Services Friday.
The District agency's executive director Bill Leonard says it's a very important move.
Leonard says the agreement was the original goal of the Weechi-it-te-win since it's creation 30 years ago.
