"Nearly 10 months after the Auditor General of Canada delivered a scathing rebuke of the Northwest Territories' child welfare system, the territorial government has released a new plan to improve it," says this article from CBC News. The plan includes 70 action points, including capacity-building and hiring of social workers and support staff. The plan aims to address the high rates of Indigenous children in care, lack of supervision and contact with children in care, low staff retention, and other "failings." The government plans to start implementing each of these actions by 2021.
