Child Welfare System Crisis

Years of funding that has not kept pace with need has pushed Ontario's child welfare system into crisis, with most of the province's Children's Aid Societies running deficits and a record 134 children associated with the care network dying in 2023. In early 2026 the government confirmed it had stopped preparing the annual summary of these deaths for 2024 and 2025, and rejected a freedom-of-information request for the figures on the basis that no such records exist.
