Years of provincial government underfunding have hollowed out child welfare services across Ontario. At the same time, CAS Toronto is refusing to fight for the funding we need to be able to do our jobs.
The result is a system pushed to the brink.
CAS Toronto cannot continue to ignore unsafe staffing levels, and the provincial government cannot continue to underfund child welfare. Children and families are paying the price for these decisions.
This is a call for accountability.
- CAS Toronto must address unsafe staffing and poverty wages
- The provincial government must immediately increase child welfare funding
- Children’s safety must come before austerity and cost-cutting
The current situation at CAS Toronto is unsustainable, and CUPE 2316 members are close to a strike.
Take action now, and tell CAS Toronto to take action to address staffing levels, and do their part to advocate for increased funding from the provincial government.
