Public Engagement and Recruitment Campaign
for Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies
December 2009

Children are our future and their well-being must be a priority for everyone in Ontario.

Children’s Aid Societies provide critical and essential services which are a safety net for the
most vulnerable members of our society – infants, children and youth who are at risk of, or
experiencing abuse, neglect or abandonment.

Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies not only play
an important role in protecting and caring for children, but also in preventing and educating
the public about child protection and well-being.
On behalf of its member agencies across Ontario, the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) is launching a Public Engagement and Recruitment Campaign to educate Ontarians about the role of the Children’s Aid in their community and ways they can get involved in protecting children and building strong families. The theme of the campaign is “I Am Your Children’s Aid” and tells the stories of youth, families, foster and adoptive parents and workers, whose lives have been touched by their Children’s Aid.

The call to action is “Get involved. Go to useyourvoice.ca” because Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies need more people to foster and/or adopt, volunteer and support the well-being of children and youth.

This Public Engagement and Recruitment Campaign was developed to educate the public about the needs and well-being of vulnerable children, and the work done by Children’s Aid in communities across Ontario to help, protect and care for our most vulnerable citizens.
