iCHAPEAU Canada’s mission is to help STOP International Parental Child Abductions, wrongful retentions and support victims of this crime
iCHAPEAU is working towards becoming a not-for-profit and eventually a charitable organization offering assistance to parents who are dealing with a Parental Child Abduction in the Provinces / Territories of:
Alberta | British Columbia | Manitoba | New Brunswick | Newfoundland & Labrador | Nova Scotia | Ontario | Prince Edward Island | Quebec | Saskatchewan | Northwest Territories | Nunavut | Yukon
Welcome Leaders!
iCHAPEAU Canada is currently engaged in a Canadian-wide search for applicants, within various volunteer leadership and governance roles.
iCHAPEAU is an acronym for International Child Harbouring & Abduction Prevention Education Awareness Under-Law.
Our mission: Help STOP International Parental Child Abductions, wrongful retentions and support victims of this crime.
There are NO MEMBERSHIP FEES associated when affected parents seek to join or support our organization as we know these parents are already financially burdened when working towards returning their child as there are NO financial support structures in place.
Our funding strategy will be through public and corporate donations and fundraising in addition to eventually seeking provincial and federal grants.
We are working to connect with ALL Canadian parents and families who are affected by a Parental Child Abduction either internationally or nationally from Canada.
In some cases, some parents may also be worried or fear that their child could be taken by another parent out of Canada with or without their consent.
We want to work together to provide real world suggestions to the Canadian Government with strong strategies and protocols to protect ALL Canadian children from being kidnaped which make up approximately 83% of all kidnappings.
