4.1.5 Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies Summit

In February 2013, the Ministry of Children and Youth Services supported the Call to Action: Together to Serve in French Summit for Franco-Ontarian Professionals, a key Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies initiative bringing together approximately 125 Franco-Ontarian social service providers in the areas of child welfare, children’s mental health, education, family violence and youth justice.

The goal of the summit, which was attended by the Commissioner, was to promote the active offer of French-language services by children’s aid societies and to establish a multidisciplinary community of practice extending beyond child welfare services, with the aim of improving French-language services delivery in a number of children’s services.
