Be the Difference…Become a Foster Parent

Family Conference

Growing up is hard enough…Imagine being separated from your family. From 2007 through 2008, there were approximately 9,000 children in the care of Alberta Child and Family Services. You can make a difference for these children.

The Closer to Home Foster Care Program offers a supportive family environment for children from birth to 17 years old. These children have been removed from their families and temporarily placed in the care of Calgary and Area Child and Family Services. Closer to Home’s Foster Care Program strives to reunite children with their families or prepare them for adoption.


“It has been an enriching journey. We have a deeper understanding not just of our own family, but of the community at large.” – foster parent
