OMSSA's vision for the best start child and family system : Vision for the best start child and family system

In his 2009 Early Learning Advisor report, With our Best Future in Mind, Charles Pascal described his vision for an integrated Prenatal-to-12 Child and Family Service System. This system would be funded through the Ministry of Education, managed by the Consolidated Municipal Service Managers (CMSMs) and District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs), and would have Best Start Child and Family Centres to provide a range of programs and services to families and children in local communities. Since the publication of that report, Dr. Pascal and Minister of Children and Youth Services Laurel Broten have continued to explore and refine this vision for the provision of integrated services for families and children.
