Thank you to UNICEF Canada for hosting an incredible Youth Advocacy Summit on National Child Day that brought together inspiring young people in a space of dialogue with adults from government, academe, advocacy and practitioner sectors. Young people discussed issues including health and healthcare, mental health and discrimination and racism.
Ambassador Bob Rae, and Minister Jenna Sudds were some of the guests who listened to young people at the Summit and responded to their concerns demonstrating how young people’s perspectives are important to the work they do on behalf of children and young people.
Thank you to UNICEF Canada for inviting Virginia Caputo, Director of the Landon Pearson Centre, to the event.
