Starting 4:30 pm, Monday, April 15, 2019. Please be advised of planned changes to our After Hours Service. Our agency is one of eight Children’s Aid Societies/Child and Family Service agencies in Ontario participating in a six-month pilot to have our calls answered by a Shared Service After Hours Team at the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto (CAST). The goal of the change is to create consistency, efficiency and to improve service and safety to children and youth.

On October 17, 2018, cannabis became legal in Ontario for people 19 years and older. This is the same minimum age as tobacco and alcohol. Provincial law (Cannabis Control Act, 2017) prohibits individuals under the age of 19 from possessing any amount of cannabis.The government has put in place rules that will keep the province’s children and youth safe. Here’s what you need to know about legalization to help you support youth and talk with them about the risks of using cannabis.
