About Us

How We Are Funded

The Ontario Ministry of Children & Youth Services supplies funds for the core protection services that are government mandated for our Agency to provide, as well as youth justice services. Other funding is received by Health Canada for some Early Intervention programs

CAS Nipissing & Parry Sound also relies on donations from the community to provide additional funding to support our children youth and families. Through our Children & Youth Opportunity Fund (CYOF) we are able to accommodate fees for school supplies, extracurricular events, post-secondary education, and other special projects such as wheelchair ramps and specialized equipment. During Christmas time, we use donations to provide gifts for children, youth and families who are less fortunate.
