WHERE WE ARE GOING
Children, youth, families, and communities have told us they want:
Equity and Belonging
We acknowledge that racism, and social inequity lead to overrepresentation and a disparity in outcomes. We will ensure services are culturally safe, support children as they develop their identity, and give them a sense of belonging.
Respect and Empowerment
We will place children and youth at the centre of decision-making. We will ensure children, youth, and families play an active role in planning their own lives and designing the services they receive so that they have more control of their future.
