Our Guiding Principles

Children First - Children must be the primary consideration in CAP-C (Community Action Program for Children) programs.

Strengthening and Support Families - All sectors of Canadian society share the responsibility for children by supporting parents as they raise their children.

Equity and Accessibility - Children, regardless of culture and socio- economic status, are entitled to equal opportunities to develop to their full potential.

Partnerships and Coalitions - Holistic support for children and their families can only be achieved through the combined effort of parents, families, communities, governments and service providers.

Community-Based - The community is viewed as the focus for decision-making and action.

Flexibility - In order to respond to the diversity of communities across Canada and the particular circumstances and changing needs of children and families, CAP-C programs must be flexible.
