Starting this 2013 academic school year there have been many changes in the edu- cational supports offered to Crown Ward students. Crown Ward students are youth who have been placed in foster care and will remain in care on a long-term basis. In the past, when youth turn 21 years old they would be cut off from Children’s Aid Soci- ety’s (CAS) care. This left many of them feeling scared and un- certain about their future. With the help from Irwin Elman, a provincial Advocate, these kids voiced their opinion that they needed to be heard so they can be successful when they leave care. According to the Ontario Youth Can website, on June 25, Brad Duguid, minister of Train- ing, Colleges and Universities, announced-post secondary Sinead Fegan supports for Crown Wards and youth leaving care.
