Do Childrens Aid Societies serve diverse communities?
Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies serve communities across Ontario. CASs meet the diverse needs of their communities. Agencies provide culturally appropriate mandatory services to meet the needs of their clients. There are 53 CASs in Ontario – 6 designated as Aboriginal, 3 serving religious communities. CASs have historically grown from community roots – in many cases voluntary or religious. All mandated child welfare agencies work under the same legislation, regulations and standards.
