Happy National Child Day!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Every year on November 20, National Child Day is celebrated in recognition of Canada’s agreement to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Child rights are things all young people should have, like access to safe drinking water and nutritious food, or things they should be able to do, like go to school and receive instruction in their own language. Access to these things help children, youth, and their families make good choices for their lives, helping them grow and develop into capable and responsible citizens who support themselves, their family, and their community.
All young people also have the right to be protected from being hurt, in body and mind. All people have a responsibility to not hurt others, in body and mind.
Celebrate National Child Day, by showing us what being a good friend and/or no bullying means to you.
Your logo could be on our t-shirt!
WIN fishing or camping gear valued up to $500
