On Saturday, June 6, York Region CAS held a Drag Bingo event for our Agency’s children and youth at our Newmarket office. Our Bingo caller, Guy Annabella, made it a fun afternoon for our youth and answered their questions about performing, costume design, and living as your authentic self. Thank you, Guy and congratulations to all the youth that won prizes!

Drag is an art form that can be vital to affirming and expressing who we are. Drag performers have always been, and continue to be, advocates for themselves and others, and fabulous change-makers!

Thanks largely to the success of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the art form is now seen regularly on mainstream TV channels, magazine covers, and is the subject of multiple vlogs and podcasts, but the story of drag goes back much further than that!

Today, on , we stand united with organizations around the world to raise awareness and advocate for the protection of every child’s right to a safe, healthy, and nurturing childhood.

At York Region CAS, we are deeply committed to the wellbeing of children, youth, and families in our community. Every child deserves a life free from exploitation, where they can grow, learn, and thrive.

Let’s work together to end child labour and build a future where every child is safe, valued, and supported. 💚💛

May was Asian Heritage Month in Canada and it’s a time to celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of people of Asian descent who have helped shape Canadian society.

Throughout the month, our Agency’s Asian Heritage Month Planning Group shared stories, resources, and events focused on wellness and the diverse cultures and histories of Asia, encouraging staff to participate, engage, and explore.

In addition to Tai Chi classes, staff came together on May 19 for a special celebration featuring henna tattoos, Chinese calligraphy classes, tea tasting, and a game of carrom.

May was also Jewish Heritage Month in Canada, offering an opportunity to discover and celebrate Jewish culture, faith, and history. Throughout the month of May, our Agency’s Jewish Employee Resource Group shared foundational beliefs, concepts, and ideas of Judaism to all staff.

York Region CAS remains committed to fostering a workplace that values cultural celebration, learning, and equity.

Happy World Environment Day! 💚🌍

This June 5, let's celebrate the incredible planet we call home and commit to protecting it for generations to come.

Nature gives us clean air, fresh water, beautiful landscapes, and endless inspiration. Today is a reminder that we all have a role to play in creating a greener, healthier future.

🕊️ International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression.

Today, we pause to recognize the countless children around the world whose lives have been impacted by violence, conflict, and aggression.

Every child deserves safety, love, education, and the freedom to dream without fear. ❤️

On this day, we honour their resilience, amplify their voices, and renew our commitment to protecting children's rights everywhere. Together, we can help create a world where every child grows up in peace, dignity, and hope. 🫶
