New Rights, New Obligations: An Introduction to The Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act
This self-paced e-Course is available on demand and is designed to provide you with substantive information about the Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act (FHRMIRA), as well as practical information you will need to know when making applications under FHMRIRA.
Did you know that under FHRMIRA each First Nation (other than those excluded) may be able to enact its own laws to address matrimonial property interests or rights on reserve land, but that unless and until they do so, provisional rules under FHRMIRA apply?
Under the provisional rules spouses and common law partners may have rights to property on reserves in cases of relationship breakdown or death.
Topics covered include:
Understanding the Background
Understanding the Foundation of FHRMIRA
Manitoba’s Approach to the Protection Order and Exclusive Occupation Order Provisions
Matrimonial Property Interests or Rights
Estates
Penalties and Enforcement
This program may be reported for a maximum of 1.5 hours of CPD activity for Manitoba Members.
The Canadian Mental Health Associations Mental Health Week is May 6 – 12, 2019.
Mental health is a state of well-being, and we all have it. We might have a mental illness, and we might not. Either way, we can all feel well. We can all have good mental health. It is about having a sense of purpose, strong relationships, feeling connected to our communities, knowing who we are, coping with stress and enjoying life. And it’s never too early or too late to get there. But it’s not just about what you do for yourself, by yourself—everyone needs healthy and supportive places to work, live and learn.
– Canadian Mental Health Association
Mental health affects all of us in one way or another, whether it’s ourselves, friends and family or a client. We have put together a few resources to help you navigate mental health for yourself, a loved one or a client.
