Ride For Accountability of Children's Aid Societies

Ride For Accountability of Children's Aid Societies

I am part of a volunteer advocacy group; I have networked with John Dunn (from Ottawa) who's the founder & director of the "Foster Care Council of Canada". There are grave issues with the status of foster children in Ontario; abuses & DEATHS in care. We seek to try & give a voice to these children & educate the public, make them aware of their rights, how to deal with child protection investigations (all aspects from the legislative act to the constitutional act; Court procedural processes etc.). We've been rallying all over Ontario in front of our jurisdictional CAS offices, to try & get public attention. Hence the reason John's embarked on a cross province ride to bring awareness to the need for accountability & transparency of CAS's. Most people still incorrectly believe CAS is regulated by Government. They are NOT. CAS is a private business, under the Corporations Act, they merely get their funding for administration of child apprehension duties from Provincial coiffures.
