CYC National Day of the Child (FINAL VERSION).png

Let's EMPOWER 8 Million Children!

Join us on November 20th, 2024, for National Child Day as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child!

​

This year’s theme, #8MillionEmpowered, highlights our collective goal to empower all 8 million kids in Canada by defending their rights and ensuring they have the support to thrive. Children and youth are not merely future dreamers, but present-day innovators, leaders and changemakers. They are setting the stage for a brighter, more inclusive Canada with compassion, courage and conviction. Empowered young people can make a difference now, not just someday.

​

National Child Day is a time to honour Canada’s commitment to children’s rights, as part of the global World Children’s Day movement.
