Are you interested in becoming a foster parent? There are approximately 3500 foster families in B.C. parenting children who are unable to live with their own families. It is the responsibility of this ministry to ensure that vulnerable children and youth have a safe place to live and a family to care for them. You could be that family.
If you’re already a foster parent – we value your continued efforts and thank you! Please visit our web pages as indicated below to see what supports are available to you and your foster children or call one of the Important Phone Numbers listed on this page. In addition, the ministry provides training and consultation services.
