Foster Family Week is a time to recognize foster parents and their families for the work they do throughout the year. They play a tremendous role helping kids thrive - no matter their background - by treating them like family.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered thoughts on behalf of the Government of Canada.

"Foster families provide a place to call home for young people with complex needs, offering them a sense of safety and stability" said the Prime Minister. "Whether for a few days or for many years, these families make a difference in the lives of those under their care. Such dedication contributes to the betterment of communities across Canada. I would like to commend the thousands of Canadian foster parents who open their hearts and homes in an effort to make a lasting and positive difference in the lives of vulnerable children and youth. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated."
