July 30, 2024 – We are pleased to announce that the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) has reached an agreement with OPSEU, facilitated by mediator Gerry Lee. The strike by our unionized workforce will end at 8:30 a.m. on August 6, 2024.
As we prepare to welcome our staff back and resume normal operations, we want to acknowledge the challenges faced by everyone involved. While the process has been difficult, our primary focus remains on providing the highest standards of safety and care for the children, youth and families we serve.
We welcome back our workforce and are committed to supporting their wellbeing while balancing our financial and operational needs. We appreciate the patience and support of the Ottawa community during this time and look forward to moving ahead together.
