The Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton has been serving children and families in the Hamilton community since 1894.

In partnership with families and our community, we’re committed to the safety, protection, and well-being of children and the strengthening of families, while valuing diversity and promoting equity. It is a not-for-profit organization that, by law, is required to protect children from physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect. The agency also helps to build healthy families and provides safe, nurturing environments for youngsters that cannot live at home both on a temporary and permanent basis. The Society is funded by the Ontario government to provide child protection services to its designated community, according to Ontario’s Child and Family Services Act [CFSA s. 72(1)].

💜 Children, youth and families thrive when communities work together. Dress Purple Day celebrates the people, relationships and supports that strengthen families and reminds children and youth that there are trusted adults and networks of support in their communities.

On October 29, Hamilton Child and Family Supports celebrated the day and the theme – It Takes a Community – by hosting an all staff meeting focused on the partnerships that are integral to supporting children, youth and families.

We had the opportunity to learn about various community partnerships that will better serve children, youth and families, have a conversation with long term volunteer drivers about why they support HCFS, get an update on foster recruitment initiatives, and hear directly from a partner about the work they do in the community.

Everyone came together to connect, share and wear purple to show that the HCFS community is ! Thank you to our staff and community partners for the work you do every day to support children, youth and families in Hamilton.
