10.5. Alcohol Consumption and/or Substance Abuse

Should you or an authorized person arrive at the Centre to pick up your child while you or the authorized person is under the influence of alcohol or any other drug that has apparently affected your judgment, in the opinion of any staff member, the interest of your child will be our primary concern. If such suspicion exists, a child will not be released.

The Educara staff shall assist you or the authorized person to find an alternate means of transportation. In the case of a dispute, the Centre will contact the local police to discharge any legal obligation our employees may have under the law. The Children’s Aid Society (CAS) may also be contacted as per our obligation under the Child and Family Services Act (CFSA).
