At OII, we believe that youth, families, and cultures are the heartbeat of community life. Through Youth & Family Connections and Cultures of Connection we:
- Uphold the Human Rights Code, CYFSA, and AODA to protect dignity, safety, and accessibility.
- Create inclusive youth leadership pathways and family supports that reflect Canadian priorities in education, housing, and mental health.
- Build cultural bridges through storytelling, food, arts, and reconciliation, strengthening trust and belonging.
- Safeguard every space as free from discrimination, harassment, and harm.
- Operate with transparency, equity, and accountability, ensuring families and youth shape our decisions.
💡 Our promise: Every child, youth, and family we serve will find not just services, but a home for belonging and leadership in OII.
