National Child Day (November 20, 2023)

November 20^th is recognized as National Child Day in Canada. A day to acknowledge and celebrate the importance of children’s rights and their well-being. 

National Child Day is an opportunity to not only celebrate the joy and innocence of childhood, but to also reflect on the challenges facing children in our society. Let us all work together to ensure that every child has the right to a safe, healthy, and happy childhood.

This year’s theme is “Inclusion for Every Child.” Every child has the right to be treated fairly, no matter where they live, the colour of their skin, their abilities, their religion, language, or gender.
