About
We are a Children's Aid Society.
Ontario's Children's Aid Societies (CAS's) are not-for-profit agencies that protect children from physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect. For more than 100 years in Ontario, these Societies have been keeping children safe, helping parents build healthy families and providing safe and nurturing environments for young people.
Each CAS is locally based in order to understand and respond to the specific needs of children and families in each community. Many CAS's, like ours, are known as Family and Children's Services.
The Government of Ontario funds each CAS for child protection services we're required to provide by law. Some CAS's, like ours, have fundraising programs to raise and distribute money for services that the province doesn't fund. These may include parent education programs, enrichment programs to promote healthy development and educational opportunities for children in care.
Child protection is our mandate. We investigate any situation where a child under 16 has been, or is threatened with, physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or neglect by a caregiver or a person in a position of authority. Our goal is to keep families together. Removing a child from their home is the last option and only used when there is a clear and immediate danger to the child.
On April 1, 2012, the Children's Aid Society of the City of Kingston and County of Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Family and Children's Services finalized their amalgamation, creating our new agency. The two legacy organizations are both more than 100 years old. They were created in the 1890s through a partnership of concerned citizens, church organizations and local governments.
There are many ways to support our work. You can make a donation to support our kids. You can volunteer. You can become a foster parent. You can adopt. Contact us for more information.
