For over a year, Global News has been investigating Ontario’s #childwelfare system. Our reporting found poor conditions at group homes, including properties in disrepair, extensive use of physical restraints, and allegations that kids were overmedicated.

The commonality: a belief that prevention is key -- that shoring up families at the root will create healthy kids and better outcomes overall. Their greatest source friction is also the same: how to get support from the provincial government and fund it.
After a year-and a half of reporting on Ontario's faltering child-welfare system -- we went in search of solutions. Our team canvassed the province to see who was doing things differently.
Congratulations to @SarniaJournal! They were second in the province in their circulation category at the Better Newspapers Competition Awards. Kudos to Cathy Dobson for winning second place in Best News Story for her article on Sarnia CAS.
