Information Children is a non-profit society and a registered charity founded in 1979. From the beginning, the organization aspired to fulfill a vision to offer at no or low cost, accessible, professional and non-partisan support services to any parent requesting assistance with family life challenges. All of us working on behalf of the organization remain dedicated to this vision. We provide information, guidance and support to parents and others on most any matters related to the care and wellbeing of children and families. If we cannot help, we work diligently to find someone who can.

Over 45,000 children were reported missing in Canada in 2011. That’s one child every 11 minutes. When a child first goes missing, the police, the media and the community all rally together to help the terrified and anxious family search for their child, but as time goes by, that involvement inevitably decreases. It is for these families that the Missing Children Society of Canada (MCSC) was established in 1986. Our unique and comprehensive programs serve families in the critical hours after a child goes missing and provide ongoing support until the child is found, investigative programs that assist police and searching families, mental health programs that help families deal with the emotional consequences of a missing child, and critical awareness generating campaigns that allow us to provide essential support for searching families. We are 100% funded by donations. And we provide our services at no cost to families.
