We envision a future where every child grows up with a sense of belonging surrounded by love, culture, and community – in their family homes whenever possible, and when not possible – where family-based alternatives are the norm, driven by kinship, connection and trust. Our work is rooted in equity, inclusivity, truth and reconciliation, and guided by community collaboration and a deep respect for cultural identity and Indigenous history. We act as a collaborative partner for sustained child safety and wellbeing, engaging with families, partners, and communities to co-create solutions that uplift and empower through ever evolving community and societal changes.
FCSLLG is committed to promoting the safety, wellbeing, and life long sense of belonging for children and youth in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville, in partnership with families and diverse communities, while honouring unique identities and cultural backgrounds.
We place children and families at the heart of everything we do honouring the child’s voice, supporting family unity, and building trauma-informed solutions that strengthen kinship and connection.
We commit to equity, inclusivity, and cultural safety – recognizing diverse identities, dismantling systemic barriers, and advancing truth and reconciliation in our service delivery and our workplace.

We foster open communication, kindness, and respectful partnerships—working together with families and their networks, communities and interest holders to build sustained safety and shared success.
We champion the strengths of children, families, and communities – advocating for their needs, amplifying their voices, and empowering them to thrive.
