Ministry of Children and Youth Services Portal
If you provide services to children from 0 to 18, you may want to visit this website: www.seregion.ca. Under "community services", you will find an access to a portion of our database of community services - all programs provided to parents that have kids. In fact, Volunteer and Information Quinte partners with the Ministry and Phil Jones to put together this tool for parents that raise children. We need one listing per program that you offer. Please visit and see if we have them all for your agency. If not, please don't hesitate to call me and I will guide you through the process of adding information.

A link on your website
Volunteer and Information Quinte would appreciate if you could put a direct link to our database on our website. http://quinte.cioc.ca. If you do so, thank you. I would appreciate if you could let me know as I then have to report where it is linked from.
