Welcome Message
Thomas F. Knight
Executive Director |
On behalf of the Board and Staff of the Huron-Perth Children's Aid
Society I would like to welcome you to our website. Children are the
future of our communities and issues in child welfare affect everyone.
Individuals in the community are the link between child protection
services and the children and families who need help. Without the
involvement and help of family, educators, police, doctors and friends
the Huron-Perth Children's Aid Society would not know when children and
families need assistance. The Huron-Perth Children's Aid Society is a
newly formed organization, one of 53 child welfare agencies in the
Province of Ontario. The Children’s Aid Society of the County of Perth,
which had been in operation since 1908, and the Children’s Aid Society
of Huron County, which had been in operation since 1911, came together
on April 1, 2003 to form the Huron-Perth Children's Aid Society. The
agency has the responsibility to provide services across the Counties of
Huron and Perth. The population is 133,375, and there are 33,730
children and youth under the age of 18. The Head Office for the Society
is in Stratford, and the Branch Office is in Goderich. I hope that you
will find your visit with us interesting and informative, and, should
you have any suggestions, please feel free to convey them to us. |
