Although there is much work yet to be done, our two legacy agencies – Brant Family and Children’s Services and the Children’s Aid Society of Haldimand and Norfolk – have now become one amalgamated agency and are operating under our new name and logo.

Our new website has been launched and will continue to be developed as we refine our policies and service model.  Board member profiles and basic agency information are available there.  Please visit us at:  www.cfsge.ca

Our new social media sites have also been launched.  We encourage you to add us to your connections, and ‘like, follow and share’ our pages using the following links:

Please note that it may take a few months to bring all of our staff over onto one electronic platform.  As such, community members who require support or services in Haldimand or Norfolk Counties, should continue to call 519-587-5437 or the Toll-Free number 1-888- CAS-KIDS until further notice. Brant calls can be made to 519-753-8681 or Toll Free 1-888-753-8681 which will continue to serve as our centralized phone system numbers going forward.  Notices will be posted on our website and social media platforms when everything has been consolidated.  Our legacy websites and social media sites will also remain accessible for a few months to allow time for the transfer process to be completed.
