About
​
Not My Scoop is a social justice campaign. Its intention is to encourage more understanding of the Indigenous experience in Canada, particularly the impact of the child welfare system.
In Canada, 52.2% of children in foster care are Indigenous, but account for only 7.7% of the child population according to Census 2016. This means 14,970 out of 28,665 foster children in private homes under the age of 15 are Indigenous.
​
The first five Calls to Action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission relate to child welfare.
​
The 'Not My Scoop' campaign is answering the call and setting out to create better understanding of Canada's Indigenous child welfare system.
