The cash-strapped local children’s aid society will reduce the number of kids in care by 25% in order to keep its doors open. A deal reached with Queen’s Park ends the threat that funds would dry up early next year at the Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex, which otherwise faces a $4.2 million deficit… The agency will try to take fewer kids into its care by keeping more of them with their families. Once kids are in the agency’s care it will try to find permanent homes for them more quickly, with extended family or adoptive parents.
