Canadian Press

"Advocates for youth in government care are calling on the provinces and territories to continue supporting those who are aging out of the child welfare system and trying to make it on their own during the pandemic," says this article by the Canadian Press. As COVID-19 lockdowns began, dozens of groups in Canada came together to form the National Council of Youth in Care Advocates, "to urge governments across Canada to put moratoriums in place for those who would be aging out of care."
