Hamilton Children’s Aid Society reacts fast
The Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton is also reacting to this budget.
Scot Urquhart joins us live with more. Nick, the reaction from the director of Hamilton’s CAS has been swift, and sharp. Dominic Verticchio says he’s had to lay off 20% of his staff, that’s 70 full, and part-time positions, most of them, support workers. Verticchio says the cuts will impact roughly 1,500 to 2,000 Hamilton families. And it may force the CAS to place children in more expensive residential facilities, rather than leaving them in their homes.
