Foster children in Canada are known as permanent wards, (crown wards in Ontario).〔Anne Tweddle, ("Youth Leaving Care Report" ), September 2005〕 A ward is someone, in this case a child, placed under protection of a legal guardian and are the legal responsibility of the government. Census data from 2011 counted children in foster care for the first time, counting 47,885 children in care. The majority of foster children – 29,590, or about 62 per cent – were aged 14 and under.〔National Post,("Census 2011: Canada's foster children counted for first time" ), September 19, 2012〕 The wards remain under the care of the government until they "age out of care." This age is different depending on the province. ==Provincial Differences== Different provinces have different regulations for the wards in their care. Many of the provinces also have third party groups set up to support both youth and alumni in and from care. These networks are not connected to the provincial governments * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Foster care in Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
