In our work, we will demonstrate respect for children, youth, families, communities, staff, care providers, Elders and the traditions and culture. This respect is demonstrated through effective listening, clear communication, a nonjudgmental attitude and recognition of cultural diversity and the unique strengths of others.

We will regard the people we serve not as passive recipients of a service, but rather as participants who should share control over some dimensions of the services they receive.
