OUR VISION
We envision a community where all children are safe and healthy, nurtured in a permanent loving family, and provided with opportunities to grow to their full potential.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to support and strengthen families. Together with the community, we work to develop respectful and caring environments in which all children can grow to their full potential.
WE VALUE
Safety and Well-Being for All Children
All children have the right to be safe, loved and nurtured, and to have their physical, emotional, cultural, intellectual and spiritual needs met.
The Family As a Foundation for Children
The family is the primary place where children can receive love and care. We value the family in all its forms and understand that all families require support to care for their children.
Caring Communities
The entire community shares responsibility for the safety, care and well-being of children, including family, extended family, friends, neighbours, schools, faith groups, recreation programs, health and social services, neighborhood groups, businesses and corporations. Individuals, groups and organizations can be most creative and effective when they come together in pursuit of a common vision and shared goals.
Care for Children in Need
All children deserve to live and grow in permanent, healthy and loving families. Children who cannot live with their own family deserve to be cared for by another family.
Human Dignity
We believe in the fundamental value and worth of every person and the interconnected relationships among all people. We honour and respect all persons, inclusive of every race, ancestry, ethnic origin, gender, age, colour, religion, sexual orientation, family status and ability.
Service Excellence
We are committed to provide services that are responsive to the diversity of our community, and to continuous improvement through innovation, feedback, outcome measurement and evaluation.
Organizational Health
Each member of the organization is responsible for building and sustaining a positive, respectful work environment. We recognize the value of all staff, foster families, adopting families and volunteers and strive to promote their health and well-being. We value diversity within the agency and encourage full participation of everyone.
