French Language Services

French Language Services

The Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton (CCASH) is committed to providing accessible services to French-speaking children, youth, and families. In 2020, CCASH received partial designation to provide the active offer of French Language Services (FLS) under the French Language Services Act.

This commitment reflects our recognition of the important role of the Francophone community in Hamilton and our responsibility to ensure families can access child protection services in the official language of their choice.

Through partnerships with the Hamilton Child and Family Supports and Family and Children’s Services of Niagara, we continue to strengthen our ability to provide French Language Services by:

• Connecting French-speaking clients with French-speaking staff;
• Supporting staff in understanding their role in providing French Language Services; and
• Providing written information for clients in both English and French.

French-language child protection services and consultations are available during regular office hours by calling:
