Prior to the implementation of the Equal Opportunity program in the
1960s, most New Brunswickers, many of them Francophone, lived with
limited access to welfare, education, and health services. New
Brunswick's social services framework was similar to that of
nineteenth-century England, and many people experienced the
patronizing attitudes inherent in these laws. New Brunswick before
the Equal Opportunity Program examines the observations and
experiences of New Brunswick's early social workers, who operated
under this system, and illuminates how Premier Louis J. Robichaud's
Equal Opportunity program transformed the province's social
services. Authors Laurel Lewey, Louis J. Richard, and Linda Turner,
describe more than a century of social work history, including the
work of the earliest Acadian social workers. They also address the
fact that the federal government did not take responsibility for
social welfare of the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet people, planning for
assimilation instead. Clan structures continued to be relied on
while subsisting upon inadequate relief provisions.
