Oct. 19 to 25 is Foster Family Appreciation week in Nova Scotia, and a way to recognize the valuable and dedicated contribution foster families make to the lives of children and youth in need of a good home.

Topics :: Nova Scotia

There are more than 800 foster families in Nova Scotia. Recruitment of new foster families and orientation sessions are held year-round, but the third week in October is set aside each year to recognize the commitment foster families provide to children and youth in care of the province.

The department will present certificates of recognition to foster families for every five years that they have cared for young people.

More information about foster care, including how families can take the first steps toward becoming involved, is available by calling the 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-800-565-1884.
