The Children's Aid Society (C.A.S.) of the District of Nipissing was formed in 1907. It was incorporated as a private corporation without share capital in 1941. C.A.S. Nipissing functioned as a one-dimensional agency under the terms of the legislation of the day up until the establishment of the Child and Family Services Act (C.F.S.A.) in 1984. The single purpose of the Society to that point was Child Welfare and delivering services related to that function. Under the broader mandate of the C.F.S.A., it enabled the Society to deliver other programs beyond the Child Welfare mandate. The Society has over the past decade been committed to establishing and delivering services which contribute to the well being of children and families.

In 1985 the Children's Aid Society in Nipissing established permanent quarters by building its present head office at 433 McIntyre Street West in North Bay. The Board of Directors of the Society has maintained the traditions of the founding Boards by continuing to fundraise in the community for  specific initiatives to augment and enhance service delivery. The Society and its Board of Directors now delivers services in Child Welfare, Child Development, Young Offenders and Early Intervention areas. The Society in 1995 established a new Mission Statement to reflect its broadened role in providing service to the community. The Society has an active Board of Directors, a strong professional staff, committed foster parents and relies extensively on volunteers to achieve its mission.
