As valuable members of the Family and Children's Services team, foster families provide a temporary home for children who come into our care. This happens when children are not able to remain in their own homes for reasons as defined in the Child and Family Services Act.
Foster parents work with social workers to develop a plan for each child in their care.
The plan focuses on the child's best interests, which may be an eventual return home, or a plan for adoption. We provide ongoing support and training for the foster families who care for children in these challenging situations.
