Caring Society’s January 2026 Report to the Tribunal
Press Release
on the Implementation of 2025 CHRT 80
Date: 2026-01-29
The Caring Society is pleased to provide the Panel with this update pursuant to 2025 CHRT 80. This report covers activities from December 22, 2025, to January 29, 2026.
1. Loving Justice Plan Filing and Follow-Up
Named in honour of the late Elder Elmer Courchene, the Loving Justice plan was officially submitted to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal on December 22, 2025, in accordance with the directions provided in 2025 CHRT 80. This submission aligns with First Nations teachings and is imbued with a message intended for all generations of First Nations children. Central to the plan is the phrase “We Love You,” which has been translated into First Nations languages as a lasting affirmation for both the current generation of children and those yet to come. This phrase serves as a powerful reminder of the inherent responsibility and commitment that all adults share in respecting and caring for every child. Elders and Knowledge Keepers met over the holiday break and continue to guide the spiritual path of Loving Justice.
2. Dissemination of Loving Justice and Canada’s Plan
The Loving Justice Plan and Canada’s Plan are both posted on fnwitness.ca. The Caring Society, together with the NCCC, undertook efforts over the holidays to distribute both plans to First Nations governments and their experts. Additional distribution efforts will be made, recognizing the reduced working hours during the holiday season.
3. Official Languages Translation of Loving Justice
In addition, a French translation of Loving Justice has been completed, ensuring broader
access and inclusivity for all First Nations and stakeholders. This step supports the
objective of maximizing the plan’s reach and impact throughout diverse communities. The
French translation can be accessed here:

4. Analysis of Canada’s Plan
The Caring Society has been collaborating with the National Children’s Chiefs Commission and the Assembly of First Nations to analyze Canada’s plan. One of the goals of this analysis is to identify areas of commonality that may limit the number of issues requiring further litigation.
