Foster Families Association July 2016 Page 1 Summer Edition Greetings from Board Chair I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve for the next 2 years as your Chair of the Board and wish to thank the members of the Board for having the confidence in me to do so. I'd like to take this opportunity to give you a bit of insight into who I am and the skills, talent and passion I bring to this role. As a Foster Parent, I realize the significant role the NL Foster Families Association plays and having sought guidance and support on more than one occasion. My husband Eugene and I have been fostering for 6 ½ years now and have loved and cared for 18 children. In that time we have transitioned 2 children onto adoptive forever homes, and helped with 15 families reunifications (so far)! As a professional, I have been in the non-profit charitable world for over 25 years in various leadership roles and I have served as Chair and as a member of many Boards over the years. I strive for continuous improvement in any role I take on, always grateful to acknowledge the wonderful work that has taken place by other leaders in an organization before me. As Chair of the NL Foster Families Association you can expect nothing less than a desire to ensure that our mandate to: • advance and promote the professional role of foster parents. • provide a collective voice for Foster Families in Newfoundland and Labrador. • promote collaborative partnerships that strengthen policies, programs and services which enhance the care and support provided to children and families in a manner that is sensitive to their cultural and individual needs. will guide our every decision and the excellent support you are accustomed to receiving from our Staff and Volunteer Leaders in the Locals across the province will continue. I look forward to working with my fellow Board Members (the list provided in this newsletter) to create a strategic plan that will guide the business of the NL Foster Families Association into a bright, successful future. I assure you that any comments, suggestions and ideas you have will always be welcomed and considered. I hope to meet many of you at events and functions during my time as Chair and as a member of the Fostering Community my husband and I are so proud to be a part of. Warm regards, Edie Newton Chair Foster Families Week will be celebrated this year from October 16-22, 2016. This is a time set aside to recognize and celebrate foster families in our community. Keep an eye out for events happening in your region. Foster Families Association July 2016 Page 2 Summer Edition Review of the Children and Youth Care and Protection Act The Department of Child, Youth and Family Services is reviewing the Children and Youth Care and Protection Act, which is the legislation that governs child protection, in care and youth services programs. This statutory review will assist the Department in its ongoing efforts to further strengthen services to children, youth and their families. Key policy areas being focused on include youth services; information sharing; prevention services; licensing and regulation of external agencies; permanency planning for children in care; and services to Aboriginal children, youth and families. The Department is accepting input from the public during the review process and has developed a discussion guide with specific questions related to the key policy areas listed above. The discussion guide can be accessed at http://www.gov.nl.ca/cyfs/cycp_act_review.html As stakeholders, the Newfoundland and Labrador Foster Families Association and foster parents throughout the province will be participating in a teleconference consultation with the Department on Wednesday, October 12th at 6:30pm. This is a great opportunity to have your voice heard on sections of the act that directly impact the children and youth in your home and you as a foster parent. If you are interested in participating, please contact the Newfoundland and Labrador Foster Families Association office by September 26th and leave your name. You may call 754-0213, or toll free at 1-877-754-0218. You can also email [email protected]. You will then be contacted prior to the consultation with the call-in details. As Diane and Amy travel throughout the province in the Fall, there will also be opportunities to discuss the review at regional meetings. Government Moving to Direct Deposit Payment System As you are aware, the Provincial Government is moving away from issuing cheques and all financial transactions will be done through direct deposit. The plan is to have all financial payments converted to direct deposit by December 2016. If you are not yet receiving your payments through direct deposit, you must complete the electronic payment request form as soon as possible. You should have already received this form in the mail. If you have questions or are unable to provide the required information, you need to contact the Department of Child Youth and Family Services at 709-729-5605 so a staff member can help you through the new process. You may also email [email protected] Foster Families Association July 2016 Page 3 Summer Edition 2015-2016 Annual Reports Report from Chair of the Board I would like to welcome all of you to our Annual General Meeting and Symposium. Thank you for your interest and your support. 2015-2016 has been another good year for the Association. I will not go into detail about what has been accomplished this year because our Executive Director will be covering that in her report. You will also be hearing the reports from the regions. In my role as Chair, I had the opportunity in July to attend the launch of For the Love of Sam, a book written by foster parents Edie Newton and Eugene Organ as a resource for foster parents transitioning a child to adoption. I want to thank Edie and Eugene for their initiative in developing this resource for foster families. During Foster Families Week, I had the pleasure of presenting the Newfoundland and Labrador Foster Families Association/VOCM Cares Bursary to Danielle Wicks at an event in Corner Brook. Danielle is the daughter of foster parents Dennis and Laurie Wicks from Gambo and is pursuing her post-secondary studies in Corner Brook. I want to extend a thank you to CYFS staff for organizing this celebration. I also visited Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Corner Brook during Foster Family Week and presented the winning students with their awards for the Provincial Drawing and Writing Contest. I was not able to make the in-person Board Meeting and Training Day in Clarenville in the Fall but did make the Happy Valley-Goose Bay meeting in the Spring. In-person meetings are so important not only for conducting Board business, but also for the opportunity for the Directors to get to know each other and come together as a team. This past year has been a rewarding experience for me serving as Chair of the Board. It was a time of learning and personal growth. Diane and the Directors are a supportive team of individuals, and they helped make the past year easy for me. It was a pleasure to serve in this capacity. As I complete my time as Chair, I wish good luck to the next Director who will be taking over for the next two years. I have one year left on the Board as a Director, and I am looking forward to continuing to be part of this great team. In closing, I would like to say fostering is a great experience which is very rewarding. Jim Cox Chair Executive Director's Report I would like to begin this annual report by thanking all of you for being here and for your interest and commitment to the foster care program in our province.

The name Port aux Basques came into common usage from 1764 onwards following surveys of Newfoundland and undertaken by Captain James Cook on behalf of the British Admiralty.

  • Newfoundland & Labrador
    Newfoundland & Labrador Overview: Newfoundland and Labrador is the most recent province to join Canada, entering Confederation in 1949. Geographically, the province consists of the island of Newfoundland and the mainland Labrador, on Canada's Atlantic coast. The entire province was initially known as Newfoundland, but since 1964, the province's government has referred to itself as the "Government of Newfoundland and Labrador", and on December 6, 2001, an amendment was made to the Constitution of Canada to change the province's official name to "Newfoundland and Labrador". In general day-to-day conversation, however, Canadians still refer to the province in a general way as "Newfoundland," while the Labrador region of the province is usually referred to as simply Labrador. Labrador is a sparsely populated piece of mainland located across the Strait of Belle Isle from the Northeastern arm of the island. Newfoundland and Labrador consistently ranks as Canada’s poorest province. The local economy, long dependent on the ever-dwindling fisheries, is turning its focus towards its abundant energy-producing capabilities. The island's name, "Newfoundland", is derived from English as "New Found Land", Latin translation Terra Nova. Labrador comes from the Portuguese lavrador, a title meaning "landholder" held by Portuguese explorer of the region, João Fernandes Lavrador. Territory: The province of Newfoundland and Labrador totals 405,212 km sq (156,453 mi sq). The island of Newfoundland is 111,390 km sq (43,008 mi sq). Highest elevation [in Labrador]: 1,652 m (5,420 ft). Location: Newfoundland is located in the Atlantic Ocean, and is the Eastern-most province in Canada.

This year’s guide brings attention to the devastating effects of driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Increased enforcement, enhanced through more than 120 new officers, and an emphasis on standard field sobriety testing has been central in our efforts to address impaired driving. These efforts are complimented by the work of newly appointed Drug Awareness Officers as well as the RNC’s participation in the D.A.R.E program as officers conduct drug and alcohol awareness education with junior high school students. These initiatives are important tools in raising awareness among our young people about the dangers of alcohol and drugs, especially the effects on their ability to drive. While impaired driving is still a serious problem that brings untold grief and hardship to far too many of our families every year, I am confident that through the collaborative efforts of the provincial government, the RNC and concerned members of the community, we are making progress to bring an end to alcohol and drug impaired driving. Sincerely, DANNY WILLIAMS, Q.C. Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador www.rnca.ca 1 Compliments of Atlantic Insurance Company Limited 64 Commonwealth Ave.

  • Filming in Newfoundland and Labrador
    FILMING IN Filming in Newfoundland NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR and Labrador ABOUT NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Newfoundland and Labrador lies at the intersection of human and geological history. It is the original gateway to North America and has been formed by thousands of years of English, Irish, Aboriginal, and French influence. Before joining Canada, Newfoundland was its own nation, with coins, stamps, flags, and anthems bearing its name. The province is edged by some 17,000 km of coastline, all of it spectacular. The island of Newfoundland stretches 510 km east to west, and extends from the 47th parallel about 560 km north. Across the Strait of Belle Isle, on the North American mainland, is Labrador. Labrador's coast extends 1000 km north, ending in a sub-arctic tundra above 60 degrees latitude. Stretching 800 km into the northeastern edge of North America, Labrador is bounded to the south and west by Quebec. The province's capital city, St. John's, is the media, business, service and film industry centre of the province, but several other areas including Trinity-Bonavista, Gander, and the Corner Brook region have recently welcomed large film and television productions. In addition to the film-specific information provided in this guide, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's website (www.gov.nl.ca) offers a great deal of information about the province, its communities and its people. Link to the Tourism Guide (www. newfoundlandandlabradortourism.com) for a great visitors' resource filled with detailed descriptions and images of the many distinct parts of the province, or call 1-800-563- 6353.
