Every photo tells a story.

This World Photography Day, we encourage families to capture the everyday moments that make childhood special, from playtime and learning to laughter and family adventures. These memories help tell the unique stories that shape our lives and communities.

Screens are designed to keep bugs out, not to keep children in. These screens can easily give way under a child's weight, making dedicated safety devices essential.

Protect your little ones this summer by checking your windows today. Small, intentional actions save lives.

Swipe through to check your home safety list:
1️⃣ Screens aren't guards: Window screens alone may not stop falls. Install dedicated window guards.
2️⃣ Clear the path: Keep furniture and climbable objects away from windows and balcony railings.
3️⃣ Actively supervise: Stay nearby and watch children closely whenever windows and balcony doors are open.

Annual Report Spotlight: Addressing Intimate Partner Violence Through Prevention and Partnership

As part of our 2025–2026 Annual Report, we're highlighting an important issue affecting children, youth, and families across our communities: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV).

Our first graphic explores the growing impact of IPV across Ontario and Toronto, where rates continue to rise and children are exposed to violence in their homes. The data underscores the urgent need for meaningful action, particularly as child welfare, community, and social service sectors work together to support safer outcomes for families.

The second one highlights CCAS's Male Engagement Worker (MEW) Program, which takes a proactive approach by working directly with fathers and male caregivers to promote accountability, and safer outcomes for children and families. Funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS), the program is delivered in partnership with Catholic Family Services and the Children's Aid Society of Toronto.

By focusing on mentorship, emotional support and practical guidance, the MEW Program helps address a critical gap in the response to IPV while supporting the safety and well-being of children and families.

🌟 International Youth Day | August 12, 2026 🌟

Today, we celebrate International Youth Day and this year’s theme, “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations.” While young people around the world experience different realities, they share many of the same hopes for their future: quality education, meaningful opportunities, mental health supports, dignity, and a safe, sustainable world.

As a child and youth-focused organization, we have the privilege of supporting children and youth as they grow, learn, and discover their potential. Every day, we see the resilience, creativity, and leadership of young people, and we are inspired by their ability to overcome challenges and create positive change in their communities. On International Youth Day, we celebrate their achievements, and reaffirm our commitment to helping every young person thrive.

Busy schedules and straight-forward routines can lead to simple oversights with devastating consequences. Before you click lock and walk away, make it a daily habit to check your vehicle thoroughly.

Small, intentional actions save lives. Swipe through to review your vehicle safety routine:
1️⃣ Look in every seat: Always look in the back seat before you leave, ensuring no child or pet is left behind.
2️⃣ Cars heat up fast: Vehicle interiors spike to dangerous temperatures in minutes, even with windows cracked open.
3️⃣ Never leave them alone: Keep children and pets safely with you at all times—never leave them unattended in a car.

📚 Stories have the power to bring families closer together.

This month in our Focus on Foster Care series, we're tackling another common misconception about fostering.

❌ Myth: Foster parents have to stay at home and cannot work outside of the home.

✅ Fact: Many foster parents work outside the home. What matters most is having the flexibility and support needed to meet a child or youth’s individual needs, along with a plan to ensure those needs are met during work hours.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to fostering. Follow along with Focus on Foster Care as we continue to share facts, resources, and insights about the important role foster families play in our community.

Emancipation Day is observed across Canada on August 1, marking the moment the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into effect in 1834 — ending legal human bo***ge across the British Empire and freeing hundreds of thousands of people of African descent.

Today, we honour the strength, resilience, and heritage of Black communities, while acknowledging the history of enslavement of both Black and Indigenous peoples on the land that is now Canada.

Recognized nationally since 2021, Emancipation Day is a time for reflection, learning, and celebration — from community gatherings and music to conversations about the realities of anti‑Black and anti‑Indigenous racism.

CCAS stands with communities working toward justice, dignity, and equity.
