New Report on Aboriginal People with Disabilities
Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy

Report finds information lacking for disabled First Nations

"A Saskatchewan policy organization says disabled Aboriginal people aren't getting the services they require, and it blames bureaucracy for the confusing the problem. The Saskatchewan Institute for Public Policy
(SIPP) is calling it the ping-pong effect when describing what happens to First Nations people who have disabilities. It says that they are bounced from agency to agency without getting the help they need."
