  4. During Foster Family Week, 18-24 October 2009, The Frontenac Children’s Aid Society (FCAS) recognizes families who give of their time and themselves by nurturing vulnerable children and youth as foster parents.

    “Foster families provide a precious gift to children in care. They share their love, their home and their family with our most vulnerable children,” said Linda Braithwaite, Resource Manager. “Foster Family Week is a good time to recognize those caring families who open their homes and their hearts to children who have suffered maltreatment and need a stable, loving home.”

  5. The Frontenac Children’s Aid Society (FCAS) is committed to eliminating child abuse and neglect in the lives of children, youth and their families in Kingston and Frontenac County.

    “October is Child Abuse Prevention Month and through education and prevention we can make a difference in the lives of our children and youth, said Frontenac Children’s Aid Society Executive Director, Raymond Muldoon. “As a community we are responsible for child safety. Everyone has an ongoing duty to report when they see or hear that a child is suffering from any form of abuse,” he added.
