Burlington ON

Founded in 1914, the Halton Children's Aid Society’s mission is to “protect children and youth, strengthen their well-being and support lifelong, enduring relationships.” This is achieved through the Society’s community-based, child and youth-centred, family-focused model of service delivery. In addition to core child welfare services, the Society also provides case management support to youth who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness, through our Bridging the Gap program. The Society acts as the secretariat to the Our Kids Network (OKN), a regional partnership of organizations and agencies serving children and youth guided by research, the network collaborates to achieve alignment of services and supports to allow all children, youth and families to thrive. Halton Children’s Aid Society works in close partnership with the Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton (CAFH), a charity dedicated to helping children, youth and families receiving services from the Society. Governed by an 11-member Board of Directors, the Halton Children’s Aid Society is committed to its diversity, equity, inclusion and truth and reconciliation journey and contributes as a resilient, reliable, supportive community partner and leader.
