Council of Canadian Child and Youth Care Associations
|

Following out of the hard copy publication of the newsletter in 2006, it was decided to
return to providing a digital newsletter members and those guest interested in the child
and youth care association movement could download and print for themselves, if they
so chose. The Summer 2007 issue is now online.
For those who did not receive a copy, or who are interested in reading past issues,
there are downloads available here of past newsletters in PDF format. You may
download and print your own copy. You will need an Acrobat Reader to do this and a
link to their site is provided should you need to install their free copy of the reader.
Newsletter publication is a vital part of the association movement being an expression
of the substance and vitality of that movement. Only Ontario with its CYC Chronicle has
established a regular publication schedule with reporting and contributing activity
generated at the membership level supported in part by advertisements. Prospective
members often ask 'What's in it for me?'. The real question 'What can I contribute to it?',
is seldom asked. Your local association would certainly welcome your contributions as
an event reporter, writer or photographer.
The vision of this Editor would then be to bring local content forward to the national
membership in a more regular newsletter. For the association movement to develop
and thrive, it must first find a voice reflective of its membership in order to even begin to
be heard. The Editor will do whatever is necessary to bring your contributions to print
should you care to contribute.

The Summer 2005 issue was the first on a new computer with a new
program. It contained a huge mistake in my identifying John Digney of
Ireland as a Delaney. My apologies to John for what must be a mental
tick as this has happened twice now for web and print. Also an apology
to the OACYC for the skimpy stats. The stats are correct in gross terms,
the detailed up-dates arrived after publication and will be included in
the next issue.
An archive of issues is the other main reason for taking this
approach. Toward that end I was able to find and translate the
2001 issue of 24/7.
