During Foster Families month, we asked social workers from @CSSD_GovNL to nominate an outstanding foster family, and they responded!
Please enjoy beautiful words about the amazing contributions of our foster families.

We had a terrific visit to #Labrador! Thank you to the foster parents and kids who came out to meet with us. We had the pleasure of visiting Shesatshiu, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Postville and Hopedale. We'll be back to visit other Labrador communities in April.
