Pathways Family Camp/Weekend - Finalizing Registration

Your application to participate in the Pathways Family event has been approved. Please complete this event registration form to finalize your registration. Upon completion of this form your registration for the event will be confirmed, and you will be officially registered for the event.

Eligibility:
Due to our current funding guidelines, outlined by the Ministry, participants must be an adoptive parent (including parents pre adoption finalization) or a foster-to-adopt parent, and must have adopted (or be fostering-to-adopt) through a children’s aid society, to attend our free Pathways program.

Please note: we are working to make Pathways available to other parent types (Customary Care, Kinship, Legal Guardian, International Adoptions, Private Adoptions), and hope to be able to offer them soon. If you would like to be kept in the loop on when these new offerings become available, please be sure to sign-up for our newsletter.

Pathways Participant Acknowledgement Regarding the Use of Zoom for Pathways trainings

For security and confidentiality purposes, the Adoption Council of Ontario (ACO) uses Zoom for Pathways trainings with the following measures in place:

Only paid Zoom subscription accounts are used, offering higher security than free accounts.

All Pathways Zoom meetings will require a password-protected link.

All meetings will have a waiting room; trainers will admit only registered participants and may also lock the meeting room after it begins.

Zoom links will be sent only after intake calls and will never be posted publicly.

Participants may not share Zoom links with others.

Sessions will not be recorded by ACO or trainers. Participants are also not permitted to record sessions.

Participants should join sessions from a private space where no one else can overhear, including children.

Headphones are strongly encouraged to protect participant privacy.

Participants are strongly encouraged to keep their video on to build a sense of community.

Note: Despite these measures, ACO cannot guarantee 100% security or confidentiality on the Zoom platform. Please carefully consider what you share during sessions. For more details, see Zoom’s Privacy & Security page. By participating, you consent to participate in the Pathways training with this understanding.
