The Foster Care Council of Canada is fighting to strengthen the voices of children and youth in foster care and the system is fighting back.
Write a letter to the Board of Directors of the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa stating the following:
========Letter starts here ==================

Board of Directors et al,
Please distribute this letter to each of the members of the Board of Directors of the Society.
I feel that children and youth who are receiving services from the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa should be made a special class of members enabling them to have a stronger voice and to get more involved in the decisions which are made about their lives by the Society.
Signed by:
Your name here
