Lakehead University, Kinna-aweya Legal Clinic, and the NorWest Community Health Centres have released a report calling on the province of Ontario to act quickly. The three-year study, aptly named ‘Eliminate Systemic Barriers To Obtaining and Keeping Ontario Birth Certificates,’ was conducted by Lakehead University researchers Dr. Kristin Burnett, Chair of Indigenous Learning, and Dr. Chris Sanders, Associate Professor in Sociology, with Kinna-aweya Legal Clinic.
It calls for birth certificates to stay with people in care or custody, so that ID travels with individuals, who would not lose possession of their ID upon transfer or release. “And, we call for the smaller, more durable birth certificates that were previously used by the Ontario government so that people without safe places to store the document can carry it on their person again,” Dr. Burnett said.
