 They say there can be too many cooks in a kitchen but tonight you can see the more the merrier. So I'm here tonight and we're here tonight to announce an expansion to the Agreements with Young Adults or AYA program. So today Chef Matt Stowe, Canada's top chef from just a couple of years ago, is here cooking with the kids demonstrating one of those key life skills that will now be eligible for funding under the enhanced program. We are doubling the amount of time youth can receive AYA supports from two to four years. We are also increasing the age of eligibility. Previously youth could be eligible between the ages of 19 and 24. We're increasing that today to 19 to 26. We need to raise awareness about the programs and services that are available to youth who've aged out of care and it's really important that you're here tonight, all of you, to help us get this message out. When I aged out, had these programs been available for me, it really would have excelled my success and the loneliness that I had felt at the time, it would have really really helped me. So I can't thank you enough for recognizing that one of the other things that make tonight really special is that I am a Rites of Passage or ROP graduate, so I graduated from this program 10 years ago and in the midst of all of that chaos and loneliness I was able to find out a wonderful program like this that was able to teach me some of the life skills that I needed, was able to find some of those connections that I needed to help me feel safe. By adding these important programs we are able to provide a stronger foundation for former youth in care from which to build their successful futures.
