C.A.S. Funding Announced

The McGuinty government is providing extra funding for struggling Children's Aid societies in the province.

Almost $27-million in one-time funding will go to Children's Aid societies with the most immediate financial challenges.

Minister of Children and Youth Services Laurel Broten says the funding will ensure that the societies continue to provide critical services to youth.

It's not immediately clear how much Family and Children Services Rainy River or Weechitiwin Child and Family Services , two local agencies who previously announced large operating deficits, will receive.
