WHO WE ARE
Child Find is the
oldest, largest and most comprehensive missing children’s agency in
Canada. And thanks to our volunteers, generous supporters and
the collaborative work of police, media and communities, we’ve
helped to recover over 90% of the missing children we search for
every year. We are thankful to all of our caring partners, it’s our
volunteers who are the heart and soul of our organization. Our volunteers conduct street-proofing workshops and
public speaking sessions. They distribute posters, run ID Programs
and visit local schools. And
they do it all because they want to make a difference. Do
you?

don’t go missing in the first place. And that’s exactly why a big
part of what we do involves promoting safety awareness through

programs you could help us with:
