Hampton Child Services

Ontario's Children Aid Societies are running out of money.

A Northeastern Ontario society recently announced plans to layoff 120-staff unless it receives operating funds by December 16th.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton says children's aid socieities in this region are also facing tough financial challenges.

Kenora-Patricia Child and Family Services confirms that it has laid off six employees recently butit has more to do with the number of kids it has in its care homes, rather than budgetary issues.
