Child and Adult Protection Services (CAPS)

Child and Adult Protection Services provides protective services to youth and at-risk adults and seniors following allegations of abuse or neglect. The CAPS Division also provides services to adolescents and youth in conflict, and other services that help to create strong and effective families. 

Community & Child Support Services

The Division also helps parents to overcome barriers such as unemployment, parenting time and fatherhood matters.
