Overview
As Community Action Program for Children - CAPC - service providers, our purpose is to address health and developmental needs of children - birth to 6 years old - and their families living in conditions of risk.
Conditions of risk include:
Special consideration is given to Metis, Inuit and off-reserve First Nations children, the children of recent immigrants and refugees, children in lone-parent families and children who live in remote and isolated communities.
Conditions of risk include:
- children living in low-income families
- children living in teenage-parent families
- children experiencing developmental delays, social, emotional, or behavioural problems; and abused and neglected children
Special consideration is given to Metis, Inuit and off-reserve First Nations children, the children of recent immigrants and refugees, children in lone-parent families and children who live in remote and isolated communities.
