Saskatchewan is celebrating the dedicated and caring foster families across this province during Foster Families Week from October 22-28.

“I want to personally thank all of the foster families who are providing a loving and nurturing home for Saskatchewan’s most vulnerable citizens,” Social Services Minister June Draude says. “You are making a real difference in the lives of Saskatchewan children and youth.”

Saskatchewan Foster Families Association Executive Director Deb Davies adds, “There continues to be a real need for more foster families across this province, and I encourage caring and committed families willing to open their hearts and homes to vulnerable children to call 1-800-667-7002 for more information.” For more information visit the Social Services website at www.socialservices.gov.sk.ca or the Saskatchewan Foster Families Association website at www.sffa.sk.ca.
