Ontario Eliminating the Practice of Birth Alerts

TORONTO — Today, Jill Dunlop, Associate Minister of Children and Women’s Issues, announced the province is eliminating the practice of birth alerts. Birth alerts are notifications sent by children’s aid societies to hospitals when they believe a newborn may be in need of protection. This new approach will improve pre- and post-natal services by promoting collaboration between children’s aid societies, hospitals, service providers, Indigenous partners and community-based service providers.

We aim to highlight employers who share the CYW vision of drastically reducing youth unemployment. Together, we can ensure that every Canadian youth has meaningful work, Nationwide.
