The Ontario Government has announced $200,000 of funding for the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society.
Bay of Quinte MPP Tyler Allsopp announced the new funding during an event on Friday.
The funding will support the Pathways to Safety program, hiring and embedding applied behavioral analysis specialists within child welfare teams to provide early behavioral intervention and trauma informed supports to children and youth who have experienced, or are at risk of, violence, exploitation, or family breakdown.
“With this investment we are ensuring that impacted children and their families within Hastings, Prince Edward and Northumberland counties have the stability they need following difficult events,” said MPP Allsopp. “These specialized workers will also assist the team at Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society to navigate complex cases they face in their day-to-day workload.”
The new funds come from the 2026-28 Civil Remedies Grant Program, where Ontario is allocating $5 million in cash and proceeds seized from criminals to help 27 law enforcement agencies and community and Indigenous organizations fight crime and strengthen public safety across the province.
