About Us
When possible, we strive to keep children within the community to maintain a sense of connection and stability. However, we recognize that alternative placements may sometimes be necessary.
Foster homes are needed for various situations, including emergency placements, short-term care, and long-term support. To ensure every child receives the care they deserve, we offer comprehensive training and ongoing support to equip foster parents with the necessary skills and resources. Training is available as well for children with special needs, to ensure all children will have a safe environment.
What We Offer
We prioritize kinship care, where children are placed in the care of immediate family members. As a foster parent, you will receive training, and have access to workers for assistance, questions or concerns 24 hours a day. Foster parents also have access to various resources and support to ensure care for the child.
Foster Parent & Child Support
- Resources to foster parents & children
- Individual support to foster parents

Case Aide Program
The Case Aide Program was developed to facilitate supervised visits between children and their biological parents. Case aides provide transportation services, ensuring that youth can safely attend scheduled family visits in a supportive environment.
Financial Assistance
Foster parents receive financial support in accordance with First Nations Child and Family Services (FNCFS) guidelines. Financial assistance is designed to cover essential expenses related to the child’s care, ensuring that every child’s needs are met while in a foster home.
