Canada: No Ontario kids in foster care will be housed in detention centres, minister says
The Hamilton Spectator – September 08, 2016
The Minister of Children and Youth Services says a suggestion to house youth from the foster-care system in detention centres in northern Ontario is not being considered by the ministry. “It was never on the table,” Michael Coteau said Thursday in an interview with the Toronto Star. “No child in foster care will be kept in any type of correctional facility. I can say that with confidence.”
