Update on services during COVID-19 outbreak

Ontario continues to take decisive action to protect the health and safety of all people and families during the COVID-19 outbreak. To help stop the spread of COVID-19, some services will experience disruptions or delays. We appreciate your patience during this time as the situation continues to evolve.

All essential social services and government offices under the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services remain open.

Children’s aid societies continue to operate and provide services to children, youth and families. Societies are being encouraged to use technology where possible and appropriate, while also observing local public health recommendations. Throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, youth in care who turn 18 or former youth in care who turn 21 will not age out of the supports and services they are currently receiving through children’s aid societies.

To help stop the spread of COVID-19 and protect the safety of all Ontarians, stay at home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible.

Were you a Crown ward at any time from the period January 1, 1966 until March 30, 2017? If so, you may be a class member in the class action which has now been certified by the court. The lawsuit seeks money (damages) and other benefits for class members.
