Child and Youth Advocate Offices in Canada

If your concern involves services outside the Yukon, you may wish to contact another provincial or territorial child and youth advocate office.

Legal Assistance

The YCAO is an independent body of the Legislative Assembly and cannot act as a legal representative or provide legal advice.
