Dufferin VOCA aims to reform the Children's Aid
Societies of the province of Ontario, with
emphasis on Dufferin County.
Our connection with Dufferin is now mostly
historical. Our efforts at reform through a
membership drive have been outlawed through
changes to the bylaws, so reform can now only be
achieved through the provincial government.
We try to post as many documents as possible about Children's
Aid. If you are willing to give us photocopies, please call.
We welcome reports from all sources. If you are a current or
former child-protection worker or foster parent, we welcome your
comments as well. Full confidence can be maintained where
necessary.
From time to time, there are rallies supporting protection of
families and children from children's aid. These are an
effective means of getting the attention of legislators. Come
to as many of them as possible.
For suggestions on how to save your own family from CAS, try

Mascot:
Our masthead shows a painting by Nicolas
Poussin, created in the 1630s and now at the Musée Condé,
Chantilly. Viewing nearly four centuries ahead, he depicted
what a child protection worker thinks is rescuing a baby from an
abusive mother. For a larger than full screen version, click on

This site links web pages posted by religious cults,
anti-semitic groups and others outside the mainstream, because
child protectors like to target them. These links do not imply
