Hello. I'm Laurel Broten, the Minister of Children and Youth Services and I'm very pleased to welcome you to our website.
Ontario is home to more than 2.8 million children and youth - the key to our province's future.
Each and every one of these children and youth deserve the opportunity to realize their full potential, and to become active, productive members of their communities.
As the mother of twin boys, I understand the significance of providing our kids with the right supports, at the right time, to get ahead and lead successful lives.
Here, at Children and Youth Services, ministry-funded programs and services help kids get the strong start they need in the early years…they help our youth become productive adults…and they make it easier for kids and families to access the services they need.
To learn more about our programs and services, please explore the many topics and links our website offers.
Thank you for your visit.
