Championing the Early Years
National Child Day – November 20
Honouring Children’s Rights Across Canada - This year, we’re highlighting Article 30 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child:
“Every child has the right to enjoy their own culture, practice their religion, and use their language.”
These rights are vital to a child’s identity and belonging. When we celebrate Article 30, we recognize that every child carries unique cultural strengths that enrich our communities.
Let’s ensure all children feel seen, proud, and connected to who they are.

May is Childcare Month
Across British Columbia, our children are thriving thanks to quality licensed child care programs! Parents can confidently work or study, knowing their little ones are in safe hands, and our communities are truly flourishing.
Recognizing May as Child Care Month is so important! It brings public and political attention to the vital role that quality child care plays in our lives. It’s not just a service; it’s a crucial part of our community’s fabric!
Let’s continue to advocate for the recognition and support our child care programs deserve. Together, we can make a difference for our families and future generations!
